The City of Farmer City has long been pursuing development north of the highway and recently was excited to announce something is finally coming to that area of the community.

City Administrator Sue McLaughlin indicates they have a developer who is starting with some multi-family housing and with plans for further development down the line.

McLaughlin hopes this is going to be the start of things to come on that side of the community. She reminds they hope so see single-family units developed on the far north side of the land.

According to McLaughlin, the development agreement is being worked on now with plans to start moving dirt by the spring.
