The Glenwood City Council will begin the public hearing for the annexation of 15.8 acres of land in West Glenwood and will likely extend the hearing to Aug. 5 due to the high number of anticipated public comments. If approved, the council will then need to consider an application to rezone 12.3 acres into a planned unit development (PUD) district and another 3.5 acres to a commercial district on a parcel behind the Glenwood Mall. On the 12 acres, R2 Partners plans to construct 219 multifamily apartments in one building, 40 townhomes to be sold and 13 work/live units that would provide residential space for one or more people as well as a commercial storefront.
