The Agenda: Fayetteville to hear Swarm Aero appeal

Flashback: Fayetteville's Board of Adjustments last month ruled city planning staff misclassified Swarm Aero as "heavy commercial and light industrial" business. The classification allowed the business to lease a facility and begin operating without a public rezoning process.

How it works: If the City Council does not grant Swarm Aero's appeal, the business can either seek to rezone the property or move.

Other items on the council's agenda include:

🏗️ Appealing the approval of allowing the new Ramay Junior High School to be built on about 27 acres south of North Marks Mill Lane and north of East Ash Street at the request of council member Teresa Turk.

🚧 Applying for a $7.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation for safety and mobility improvements on Joyce Boulevard. The city would match $1.2 million.

🧑‍💼 Adding two positions within the Development Services Department with the intent to help customer service through reduced development review delays and improved response times for $164,900 this year.
