City panel debates 160 acre tract development plan near 13th and La
A city commission discussed a master plan for a 160 acre tract including a high school site near 13th and La. The plan proposes Alabama Street extension to Twenty third Street, drawing protests from owners of a 10 acre parcel in the middle. Residents urged perimeter routes with dead ends to shield their homes from traffic. City Manager Jim Wigglesworth noted feasibility requires unified ownership. A nearby area west of the bypass for US Highway 59 was referenced as future work. No final vote occurred as many owners were absent, though overall mood leaned toward acceptance of the plan.
