Development Proposal Withdrawn to Preserve Developable Land
Public hearings for the property west of Country Club Lane, abutting the MPPD tail race canal hike bike trail, submitted by Miller Associates for DT Development, were withdrawn. The applicant requested withdrawal to explore options for keeping the land developable, as opposed to making it an out-lot. This marks the third consecutive withdrawal request for this property.
Redevelopment Project Approved with Tax Increment Financing
