My sources tell me that acreage on the north west corner has been bought by
Beazer and they are planning to build townhomes. It is a new product for them and this will be their test location.

Ike Randolph, City-County Councilor for District 1 (most of Pike Township) had a wide variety of panelists and guests at the Town Hall Meeting. Among the panelist were
Karen Terrell, Pike Township Neighborhood Liaison, Susan Blair, President of Pike Township Residents Association. Also there were representatives from Health and Hospital, Dept. of Public Works and A Taste of Pike. Robert Turner, Director of Public Safety was there to give an overview of disaster preparedness for the city.

Some of the topics of discussion included City Services Consolidation, the Pike Township Comprehensive Plan, Lafayette Square area plans and IPL cutting down trees.
