Housing development is becoming a micro-focus of the City of Clinton leadership.

At the Tuesday night Clinton City Council meeting, City Administrator Tony Harris told the Council of a phone call from a local realtor who expressed the need for more housing, with some residents unable to find housing and moving elsewhere.

According to Harris, the development would be multi-unit duplexes. He explains the City is working towards establishing TIF districts for these developments, and that process continues to move quickly.

Harris also briefed the Council regarding the City's efforts to pay for fireworks for the planned Fourth of July and America's 250th celebration. 

Tuesday night, Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers swore in a new officer and announced the promotion of a current officer. 

The Council was also briefed by Harris about a potential partnership with the Clinton Rotary Club to update the City's 'Welcome to Clinton' signs.
