Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The railroad-right-of-way annexation would support possible future development in that area by bringing the parcels into the city. The canal properties can now move toward auction after a deed restriction was lifted. The Commission also discussed creating a downtown historic district, which could support grant opportunities, business tax incentives, and preservation guidelines, but no final action was recorded on that proposal.
