What's on this agenda

Garner's town council agenda called for swearing in new Police Chief Chris Adams and considering a rezoning of nearly 128 acres from commercial and industrial use to light industrial for a project called Project Cougar. The council was also set to continue a public hearing on a zoning text amendment implementing the comprehensive plan's residential and mixed-use standards to its October 21 meeting, take up a $415,815 sidewalk construction bid on Aversboro and Garner roads, and consider a stop-sign ordinance for Brucemont and Claymore drives. No minutes were available for this meeting at the time of writing, so this summary describes the agenda rather than what the council decided.
