Local entrepreneurs propose new childcare center in Highland, cite high community interest
Summary
Amy Frey presented plans for a childcare facility off Sportsman Road, telling council she has 272 interest forms and expects capacity for about 150 children; staff indicated applicants are coordinating with Building and Zoning.
At the public forum on May 5, Amy Frey and family described plans to develop a childcare center on a lot off Sportsman Road and asked council and staff to note community need.
Frey said the planned building would have ten classrooms (four designated for infants), capacity for about 150 children, and that she has collected 272 interest enrollment forms and 32 potential employment leads. She said the closure of a local daycare in January increased demand and prompted outreach to parents; she added she is coordinating with the state representative and working with Building and Zoning on site plans.
Mayor Kevin Hemann and City Manager Chris Conrad encouraged Frey to continue working with Building and Zoning and said they look forward to further coordination with staff.
No permit, zoning decision, or council vote on the project appears in the minutes; Frey's comments were recorded as public forum presentation to inform the council and staff.
