Rosedale community meeting rescheduled to February

Rosedale residents and city leaders have rescheduled a community meeting to discuss plans for community improvements and use of the city's recent $110 million bond, which is slated to be spent on schools, parks and recreation and other city purposes. The original meeting was set for Tuesday, Jan. 17, but Ward 1 Representative Britt Thames said it has been rescheduled to Feb. 21.

The meeting was first mentioned in December, after Rosedale residents attended a city work session to air their concerns. Thames, whose constituency includes Rosedale, said at the time that the meeting's discussion could include abandoned or neglected home abatement, Spring Park, roads and sidewalks, historical markers and other improvements.

Thames and fellow Ward 1 Representative Andy Gwaltney will attend the meeting, along with Mayor Scott McBrayer and Council President Bruce Limbaugh. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. in Lee Community Center, 1828 25th Court South.
