Roughly 50 people attended a forum at the Uniontown Community Center Wednesday evening to hear what the zoning advisor committee has been working on and to give feedback. After explaining the role of the committee, members explained the facts and recommendations in their hand out and then opened the floor for comments.
Six people took the opportunity to express their opposition to or concern about what was being proposed. The committee then asked the attendees to indicate whether they were for, against, or undecided on zoning. There was some confusion as to what exactly was being voted on and the process, but in the end roughly 6 people were for zoning, about 2 or 3 were undecided, and the rest who voted were opposed.
There will be two more forums next week. May 20th at 6 pm there will be a meeting at Fulton Community Center. The final meeting will be on May 21st at 6 pm at Memorial Hall in Fort Scott.
A video of the meeting can be found below. The meeting starts approximately 10 minutes into the video.
