City Council Says NO To Proposed Anderson Annexation
15.03.13Filed Under: ECI News
The Anderson City Council last night rejected Mayor Kevin Smith’s Anderson Fast Forward Annexation proposals. The vote on the proposed northeast annexation was 7-2; the vote on the proposed southwest annexation was 6-3. A disappointed Smith says -“The door has been closed on Anderson’s future by this vote of the City Council,” “The council made a well-informed decision and decided to turn away from future jobs and further growth.” The goal of Fast Forward was to stabilize Anderson’s population and property tax base, and create an economic development corridor by capturing the remaining frontage along I-69 to the Madison/Hamilton County line.
