BOMA greenlights Swanson development zoning

Ordinances needed to begin a large development planned for the McMinnville Highway, just past Interstate Drive, passed during its second readings at the Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen July 2 regarding property that was recently annexed into the city.

The multi-use development to be called Old Stone Fort Crossing is planned to include commercial areas such as an as-yet unnamed grocery store, an industrial area and residential zoning that will range from low density single family homes on a large lot to a number of apartments and townhomes.

The property was annexed into the city during the May 4 meeting. The board also passed the first reading with a 5-1 vote.

Anderson also voted no on the resolution annexing the property and accepting the plans of service for the property.
