Marion City Council advanced a one-year pause on new development along Tower Terrace Road, Highway 13 and Uptown Marion, allowing time for the city’s comprehensive plan update.
Marion is dropping its petition for title of the old Maid-Rite building on Seventh Avenue after the owners started working with the city to address safety concerns and repairs. The owners are planning to renovate the building for possibly three new businesses.
Bids being taken till Feb. 14, with 2 other reviews scheduled.
While city staff prepare to solicit bids for demolition of the vacant building, its proposed removal must go through the Central Corridor Review process.
