> Provide proper traffic flow.
> Provide better emergency apparatus access throughout both commercial sites.
During the City Commission Special Meeting on March 25, 2020, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2020-R-07, accepting the transfer of ownership of the property related to the Wastewater Treatment Plant from WVID at no cost.
