The city council is meeting next Wednesday to vote on the zoning hearing for Park Place. It is very important that between now and then, everyone call and email city council and asks for a hold on the vote.
Start with Twanda Carlisle who stated at the end of the hearing that “further discussion is required with the community and the developers.”
