Monday meeting
KEY ACTION: Gave second reading to an ordinance that would authorize a zoning change from general business (B-3) to light industrial (I-1) on a northern section of the former Kmart property, 2600 Lincoln Way E.
The rezoning would allow for construction on a 7-acre section of the 11.7-acre parcel to accommodate a new indoor/outdoor storage facility.
RCG Ventures and Stein Investment Group, both of Atlanta, have joined to form RCG-Stein, the entity in line to operate the property and spearhead the venture, part of which includes grocery and retail shops along Lincoln Way.
OTHER ACTION: Approved an ordinance that authorizes the purchase of a 2022 MEDIX Type 1 ambulance for the Massillon Fire Department.
