Rural King revitalization at former Kmart site
Rural King plans to spend about $19 million renovating the old Kmart building at 550 Stateline Road, and the city is waiving tap, water, sewer, and permit fees through the tax incentive program. Officials call it a great fit for the west end.

DeSoto Road PUD subdivision and rental restrictions
A 158-acre, 330-home development is coming to north DeSoto Road, and the board used the approval to crack down on rentals — capping them at 10%, banning homes built to be rentals, and requiring HOA review. The mayor argued rentals fuel crime; the builder said spec-building requires occasional rentals.
