Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The Metcalfe Park zoning recommendation moves the proposed community hub closer to development, but it still requires action by the designated City committees. The proposed Neighborhood Improvement District could support neighborhood improvements, including assistance for home repairs, and commissioners discussed possible property-tax effects. The commission also approved a conditional extension for an existing assembly hall at 1120 South Barclay Street and advanced a Lincoln Village business district plan.
