Fenton aldermen consider bridge lease, park projects; upcoming meetings on restroom, zoning changes
The Fenton Board of Aldermen at its June 25 meeting considered a five-year lease with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for the Larkin Williams Road and Highway 30 bridge viaduct, along with park improvements and insurance renewals. No votes have been released because minutes from that meeting have not yet been published.
Upcoming meetings this week include the Parks and Recreation Committee discussing a new restroom at Fenton City Park, and the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewing special use permits and a zoning code amendment to allow parks in industrial districts.
