The Belfry

Russell Street in Ward 4 has been the center of a lot of proposed development. Ergon, The Village, the changes make to LaGallaria Shopping Center to name a few. One of the proposed developments, The Village, went back to the drawing board for some revisions and is about to go before the Planning and Zoning Board. This development has the potential to change the very landscape around Russell Street and to add to the new urbanist concept that many of talked about for Starkville.

Sunday Alcohol Sales

Several months ago I had brought up the idea of allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday in Starkville. There was a Starkville Daily News poll and a town hall meeting; however, the item was never brought to a vote by the board.

Recently some residents who want to see Sunday sales in Starkville have developed a released a website as part of an overall campaign. This website can be found at http://www.betterstarkville.com They also have plans to release fliers and table tents in bars throughout town.
