Engineering analysis for the Kirkpatrick Heights master plan is done, with three development scenarios — from a base case up to full build-out with MLK realignment and Salvation Army relocation. The public weighs in at a November 5 open house, and an RFP for missing-middle housing on Main Street is coming.
