Part of a larger city-wide effort, the rezoning initiative along Fairmount Avenue, west of Broad Street, aims to address issues and outdated zoning to better accommodate future development along the Corridor.

The upcoming meeting at St. Andrew will be an "open house", and residents are encouraged to stop by at any time throughout the 2-hour meeting to engage with presentation materials and provide feedback.
