Mercy plans approved

A medical clinic is one step closer to reality after Planning Commissioner members approved the large scale development of Mercy Clinic at the regular Planning Commission meeting in January.

Diego Garcia, representing Crafton Tull, presented the final plat and answered questions concerning the Mercy Medical Center which is to be built on a lot north of Slack Street between Carr Street and Townsend Way. It will face Carr Street, Garcia told planners.

Garcia had previously met with planners and city officials at a tech review and said he had made all changes requested at the tech review meeting.

"We're excited to have it come in," Dr. Karen Sherman, planner, said.

In other business, planners elected officers with all planners keeping the same position: Zach Hoyt is chairman, Sherman is vice chairman, Al Fowler is secretary.
