Councilmember Eddy also stated that he promised the School District that the situation would be worked out where the School District would not be impacted. The issue has been resolved.

A copy of the handout is on file in the City Clerk's Office.
Carol McClure, Southern Communities Coalition, stated the Southern Communities Coalition is very excited about the possibility of the area being revitalized, however, the number one issue is concern for the school district.
