ROCKWOOD CITY COUNCIL ADVANCES PROPERTY TAX DISCOUNTS, NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, AND STATION UPGRADES
At its regular meeting on Monday night, September 28, the Rockwood City Council took action on several key initiatives impacting local property owners, housing development, and city infrastructure.
-
Property Tax Incentive: The council approved an ordinance on first reading offering a 2% discount to property owners who pay their city property taxes by the end of October.
-
New Housing Development: A rezoning request for property in the Clymersville area passed its first reading, clearing an early hurdle for a proposed 73-home residential development. The change requires a second reading and a public hearing next month before final approval.
-
Public Safety & Infrastructure: Officials approved hiring a new police officer and authorized an estimated $14,000 expenditure to install a new HVAC system at Fire Station Number Two on North Kingston Avenue.
-
Board Appointment: Roger Powell was officially approved to join the Golf Board.
Further details regarding the housing project and upcoming municipal business are expected to be addressed at future council sessions.
