Redevelopment Commission approves moving forward on 533 West High Street

The Lawrenceburg Redevelopment Commission voted Aug. 11 to move forward with next steps for 533 West High Street. Commission President Brian Johnson called for a motion on the item and the membership approved the action by voice vote. The commission’s executive director said the plans have been reviewed and recommended for approval; she added a closing on the property was expected either later in August or "probably still yet this month." That timeline was discussed but not fixed during the meeting. Commissioners did not place detailed terms or dollar amounts on the record during the meeting. The action taken at the Aug. 11 session was a motion to "move forward with the 533 West High Street," which passed on a motion and second and a voice vote of "aye." The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally or the names of the motion mover and seconder. The commission did not at the Aug. 11 meeting adopt a written purchase-and-sale agreement or announce a firm closing date; staff indicated additional closing steps remain. Commission members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the motion and discussion portion captured in the transcript. The commission’s next regular meeting will carry routine oversight items and any formal closing or contract approvals will be recorded in later minutes if presented.
