Brooklyn Council approves $28K contract for invasive species treatment at Perch Creek

In a decisive move to combat environmental challenges, the Mobile City Council approved a $28,000 contract for invasive species treatments at Brooklyn's silvicultural burn site at Perch Creek during their meeting on April 8, 2025. This initiative aims to protect local ecosystems from harmful species that threaten biodiversity.

The council also introduced several resolutions, including a food purchase order for handheld radios to enhance communication within the trash collection department. These resolutions will be laid over for one week, allowing for further consideration before final approval.

Additionally, the council scheduled a public hearing for May 13 to discuss the rezoning of property located at 2415 Saint Stephens Road from residential (R1) to business (B2). This change could pave the way for new developments in the area, reflecting the city's ongoing efforts to adapt to growth and community needs.

The meeting concluded with a call for public input on these significant issues, highlighting the council's commitment to transparency and community engagement in local governance.
