What this is
This is a continued public hearing on Zoning File 23-12, a request to rezone about 9 acres on the south side of Research Drive, west of Telecom Parkway. The proposal would update the existing Planned Development for industrial use with a revised concept plan and add a Special Permit for a heavy manufacturing facility.
