Leon County Commission Meeting (February 10)
The next Leon County Board of County Commissioners regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 10 at 3 p.m. in the Commission Chambers of the County Courthouse. Additional information regarding all County agenda issues (including those highlighted below) can be found in the full County agenda available HERE:
A relatively light agenda including a series of programmatic status report updates, the County Commission has a few notable action items on the agenda that are of interest to the business community, including:
- Approval of a measure to formally name the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Administration Building after the late Sheriff Larry Campbell (in honor of his recent passing and of his decades of excellence in public service to our community). Click HERE to view.
- Final public hearing to approve the land development code regarding improvements in the Bradfordville area. This item codifies final negotiated amendments and updates to the Bradfordville Sector Plan and is anticipated to stimulate positive commercial and residential development in the area while also preserving and honoring the unique historical character of the Bradfordville community. This proposal aligns with the priorities of a number of public and private interest groups that have negotiated for the modified terms included via this update. Click HERE to read more.
