The Nokia site will undergo a formal review to determine whether it meets the standards for possible redevelopment planning; this vote does not itself approve a redevelopment project. The Council also authorized additional municipal work, including tree removal, snow-removal funding increases, sewer services, wastewater treatment improvements, and a Safe Routes to Schools sidewalk project. A proposed ordinance changing maximum building heights in the R-10, R-15, and R-15A zones was introduced, with a public hearing and final vote scheduled for February 17, 2026.
