The City Council voted unanimously last week to approve an ordinance that rezoned property located at 13001 Highway 70 from single family to light industrial at the request of Thomas Engineering Company. Company officials told the City Council plans for the property haven't been finalized, but it is estimated the development will bring 500 jobs to the city. Jane Cather Nilz and John Cather, siblings who own the Alexander Schaer House, emailed their concerns to the City Council about the potential development before a vote was taken.
