Locust Grove annexation approved

An annexation request involving 254 acres was approved by the Locust Grove City Council at its March 21 regular meeting.

The property in question, a combination of five different tracts, is at South Ola Road and SIngley Drive, on the south side of the city and northeast of Hwy. 42.

According to a city staff report, the land will remain residential-agricultural, the city’s equivalent to the county’s current zoning, and the future land use designation remains rural residential.
