Read about Evans Spring
In June 2022, the City announced that it would initiate an Evans Spring development planning process. City Council approved a partnership agreement with the property owners and the Economic Development Authority to hire a professional consultant to look at the property’s potential while engaging adjacent neighborhoods and the surrounding community. The objective is to collaboratively create a plan that is both economically feasible and has a positive relationship with three adjacent neighborhoods known as Melrose-Rugby, Fairland, and Villa Heights.
Even with the interchange project complete, developers still need to build a bridge from the ramp to gain access to the site. One significant challenge for the consultant will be to identify a feasible design and provide strategies for funding the construction.
The properties would need to be rezoned by City Council before development could start. The new planning initiative could culminate in a rezoning application for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council some time in 2023.
