Lots of email for council on rezoning issue
Members of Middletown City Council have had a lot of reading to do over the past few days.
The Chamber of Commerce sent an urgent notice to members Friday to contact council members and give their support for the rezoning of 157 acres of land off of Ohio 4 (Hamilton-Middletown Road). The land is being targeted for a $340 million state of the art, heat recovery cokemaking and electric generation plant.
Council is expected to hold a public hearing and vote on an emergency ordinance to confirm a March decision by the Middletown Planning Commission today at its 6:30 p.m. business meeting. The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber on the lower level of the Middletown City Building, One Donham Plaza.
Council Clerk Betsy Parr said the city council office has received more than 300 emails and more than a dozen phone calls from proponents and opponents of the issue.
City officials have two overflow seating areas with television monitors for spectators to observe the meeting once the Council Chamber reaches its room capacity. The city’s fire marshal will be there to enforce the room capacity.
