Gadsden City Council approves multiple routine resolutions, revokes bar's license and authorizes Riverwalk study

The Gadsden City Council on Oct. 28 adopted a series of routine resolutions and agreements, including a revocation of a business license, authorization to acquire right-of-way for a street realignment, and a $146,775 contract for a Riverwalk phase 1 visioning study.

The actions were taken by voice vote or unanimous consent during the council's regular meeting. Mayor Craig Ford presided; the clerk recorded votes and procedural motions.

Why it matters: The measures affect city infrastructure, solid-waste permitting and development planning. The Riverwalk study funds architectural work aimed at connecting the existing boardwalk on the west bank of the Coosa River to the proposed Coosa Harbor development. The solid-waste permit revision would expand the city's construction-and-demolition landfill service area to include all of Etowah County.
