The Princeton City Council on July 14 approved several items during a single roll call, including the second‑reading adoption of an ordinance vacating an alley, two contracts for annual street work and authorization to sell a 10.4‑acre parcel in the Tech Park.
Council approved Ordinance O‑25‑013, vacating an alley, on its second and final reading. Mayor Mabry called for the final vote and council members recorded affirmative votes.
