Maryville City Council initiates steps toward new development

After the announcement of the new Wells Bank location coming to Maryville earlier in the month, the Maryville City Council heard from city staff January 26 about the new developments infrastructure to make way for business and housing additions.

Maryville City Manager Greg McDanel reported Fountain Park Partners, LLC, owner of the 25 acres of land on South Main, has been in discussions with the city officials regarding the land development. The land owners have begun moving utilities and are making plans to invest $80,000 toward upgrades in water infrastructure to replace a waterline, install seven service connections and two fire hydrants along with a new waterline and sanitary sewer extension. Fountain Park Partners will also replace existing power lines by installing a cased bore, eliminating overhead lines which the city leaders plan to do with the remainder of South Main in the future.

The council approved the development agreement with Fountain Park Partners.
