Wildwood Town Center plan update approved

The Wildwood City Council at its Oct. 22 meeting passed its Town Center plan update that accepts the plan with the exclusion of four properties, which will go to the city’s Planning/Economic Development/Parks Committee for further review.

As previously reported in West Newsmagazine, the main concerns lie with matters of economic development and with the owners of the Slavik, Spanos, Brown and Jones properties, who have expressed opposition to the update because it would affect their designations as commercial properties.

For the past two years, the Council and community have debated whether to allow “big-box” development into Wildwood’s Town Center – a key factor in approving the Town Center plan.
