OIGOALS UPDATE City Administrator Jonathan Tullos reported on the status oft the 2024 Q1 goals, including completed items and a timeline for unfinished items. PROJECT PANAMA The President called on City Administrator Jonathan Tullos, who provided background information on "Project Panama." He advised in June 2023, the Wiregrass Economic Development Corporation brought the concept ofai manufacturing plant in the wood/forestry industry to city leaders. At that time, the proposed project needed more than 100 acres of land, access to a four-lane or major highway, and railroad access, and the city'sI Industrial Development Board began to identify possible sites in or around Enterprise. Mayor Cooper, some City Council Members, Planning Commission, and Industrial Development Board members visited an Oriented Strand Board (OSB) plant in November of last year to determine the noise, odors, and traffic associated with the plant. Based on their collective observations, the group determined their concerns were overstated, with little or no noise or odor detected outside. Mr. Tullos clarified that the proposed action before the City Council that night was only to consider rezoning five parcels of land at the intersection of Hwy. 84 and Moates Road to M-2, Manufacturing District. The primary objective of this action, he said, is to have a large industrial area available in case a business expresses interest in it in the future. However, there is no formal request for such a project at present. Due to time constraints, the Council Members partially reviewed the agenda of the February 6, 2024 Council Meeting. Further discussion of any items not reviewed will take place during the Regular REVIEW OF AGENDA Session, ifneeded.
