In a recent government meeting, justices unanimously approved a motion to pass an ordinance ratifying a conditional use permit for the NWA Flex Space project, following a recommendation from the planning board. The project, which will occupy five acres of a 17.3-acre lot, involves the construction of two separate buildings, each approximately 12,000 square feet, designed to accommodate multiple tenants.

Director Atta provided a summary of the project, noting that it had been previously approved for a similar initiative in the same area. The new development will include a parking lot with space for 20 vehicles and will operate from 7:30 AM to 4 PM. Atta confirmed that no complaints had been received from neighboring properties regarding the project.

During the discussion, Justice Lyons raised concerns about noise levels, referencing a previous complaint related to loud music from the site. The applicant assured the justices that lease agreements would stipulate noise restrictions to mitigate any disturbances.

The meeting highlighted the collaborative efforts of local officials and the planning board in advancing community development while addressing resident concerns.
