Developer and overtime rules on Alexander agenda

Despite having only two items on the agenda, much discussion is expected at Monday evening’s Alexander City Council meeting. Developer Benjamin Handford and his engineer Bill Hope are expected to answer council member’s questions concerning plans to develop the former Human Development Center. A second agenda item concerns updating the city’s, “Personnel manual to include overtime hours for police and fire.”

Handford has proposed developing the former state-run facility, located along Highway 111 in South Alexander, for both commercial and residential use. The residential plans include renovating the former Tuberculosis Hospital into apartments and building multi-family housing units in the area west of the building. The remaining two-thirds of the property will be commercial under his plan.

The meeting of the Alexander City Council is Monday, November 18 at 6:00 PM in the courtroom at city hall. The public is invited to attend.
