THE DIGEST

Greenwood’s Comprehensive Plan Meeting

On Wednesday, the city of Greenwood hosted a public meeting for residents to give feedback on the city’s comprehensive plan.

The comprehensive plan dives into redeveloping Old Town Greenwood, adding a “New Town” Greenwood at Maint Street and 65, along with revamping the Greenwood Park Mall.

Some of the key initiatives are:

• Continue transportation improvements to enhance safety and reduce congestion

• Enhance the bicycle and pedestrian network through trail development and crossing improvements

• Support redevelopment and reinvestment in vacant and underutilized properties

• Grow public safety

• Use new growth areas to diversify housing and job opportunities

You can find the full 279-page plan here.

Crew Car Wash Denied Zoning Appeal

On Tuesday, the Johnson County Board of Zoning Appeals heard the case from Crew Car Wash to put in a car wash at the NE corner of S. Morgantown Rd. & W. Smith Valley Rd.

Crew was looking for a special exception for their car wash, but it was denied, despite the staff recommending approval of the request.

Several parties spoke up in support of denying the request and the board granted the denial of the special exemption.

Whiteland Adds to its School Board

The Clark-Pleasant school board held a special meeting on Tuesday night to approve its news board member - Patrick Guilfoy.

Guilfoy’s family lives in the township and he is the principal of South Creek Elementary School in Franklin Township. His wife is also a principal in the township.
