Pulaski board approves rezoning, property transfers and easement; forwards Sam Davis Park wall bids

The Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Sept. 23 approved several ordinances and resolutions, set two public hearings and authorized staff to pursue agreements tied to industrial development, public safety and parks maintenance.

The board adopted a resolution transferring about 2.5 acres in the industrial park to the Industrial Development Board (IDB) and attaching development covenants so the IDB can negotiate sale terms with an interested company, SunDrop, city staff said. The board also approved two rezoning ordinances on second reading — one to match a parcel behind Giles County Funeral Home to the funeral home's C-3 zoning, and another to rezone three contiguous lots north of the square from C-3 to C-1 — and authorized the mayor to grant a limited easement to allow AT&T access to antenna equipment on Fort Hill.
