rezoning
Changing land rules to allow homes instead of industrial uses and lot splits.
Whether the former Hamilton site’s PFAS review, DNR sign-off, and planned soil sampling (described as expected in spring) translate into a clear redevelopment plan and timeline.
Typically discussed at Plan Commission. Check back when the next agenda is published.
The former Hamilton property (Parcel 053-000-052-030.05) is now zoned for business use instead of industrial, after an 8-0 City Council vote. It’s a big “what can go there” change on paper, and the public hearing drew no comments.
