The Washington City Council approved the next step for a housing subdivision during their recent meeting.

A public hearing was held for annexation of certain properties adjoining the current city limits for the MSJ Subdivision located near Country Club Road. The council approved a development agreement with MSJ, LLC. this March to give a grant not exceeding $800,000 for the development of 30 lots by 2031. The agreement stipulates for the first six units to be completed by 2025. The city has also agreed to conduct a sewer boring of 650 linear feet which shall be completed no later than six months after MSJ has submitted their plans for the development to the planning and zoning commission. The commission is scheduled to meet on June 6th to review a rezoning application for the subdivision and a preliminary plat.
