Council extends moratorium

by | Jan 14, 2025 | Area News, Latest

City staff asked to extend the current four-month ban on new residential construction for five months, but the Princeton City Council agreed to a six-month extension.
The first moratorium was imposed last September to allow time for the rapidly growing city to plan for improving its infrastructure to keep pace with the growth.
Also at the Monday, Jan. 13, meeting, council approved Walmart’s request for a specific use permit to build a commercial drone delivery hub at the store on U.S. Highway 380.
In other business, councilmembers retained Steve Deffibaugh as mayor pro tem.
