West River Road Rezoning Delayed as Council Seeks Plan
City Council tabled a commercial rezoning request for West River Road residents for at least two weeks to review a comprehensive development plan. Councilman Forrest Bullocks led the tabling to allow a contract drafted by Councilman Paul Blevins that would bind residents to sell only if a buyer for all properties is found.
