Joe Johnston, Chad Freeman and Greg Stevens were in attendance to consider possible plans for the parcels situated between Main and Grant from Third Street to Marengo Road.

Mr. Johnston explained that at this point, it doesn't matter to him which way he will his plans. go with Commercial zoning for the entire block area was also considered. Greg Stevens volunteered that he did not believe with the new mall two miles down Hwy# 6 that it was any time soon that commercial property would be in demand in the Tiffm area. Stevens did not see a need to zone this entire area commercial at this time, and does not desire to hold commercial property that no one is willing to purchase.
