Approximately 2 acres are adjacent <br />to the Rooker Activity Center. 6.28 acres is located immediately across from City Hall. The <br />balance of property includes 2 small commercial pad sites adjacent to I-35W. In May the EDAC <br />met with Mr. Peter Jesh of Summit Development and Evan Jacobsen of Tushie Montgomery <br />Architects to discuss a potential planning process to update the Master Plan. Since that time <br />the City Council has gone through a strategic planning process that included a short-term goal <br />of revisiting the Town Center master plan along with campus planning for the Rookery Activity <br />Center.
