A proposal for rezoning in Elkhart County received unanimous approval during the recent county meeting, following a thorough review by the technical committee and various departments. The county highway department expressed concerns, recommending that any new road construction adhere to county standards. However, the committee acknowledged that developers have the option to proceed differently if they choose.

The public hearing on the rezoning drew no opposition, leading to a swift motion to close the hearing and approve the request. The motion was seconded and passed without dissent, highlighting a smooth decision-making process.

In addition to the rezoning discussion, the meeting welcomed a new deputy treasurer, Josh McMillan, who brings experience from the state board of accounts and county audits. McMillan expressed enthusiasm for his new role, stating he looks forward to contributing positively to the team.

The meeting concluded with the announcement that the stormwater board meeting was canceled due to a lack of agenda items, wrapping up a session focused on community development and administrative updates.
