Future of Spring Hill Economic Development Commission to be discussed Monday night

As Spring Hill city leaders were finalizing the city's budget for the 2020 fiscal year back in May, Alderman Dan Allen proposed disbanding the city's Economic Development Commission, a board led by Alderman Vincent Fuqua.

Calling the commission essentially a "slush fund," Alderman Matt Fitterer agreed with Allen's proposal, as did three other aldermen. Despite the vote to disband the commission, the issue was tabled for a later date as a means to move forward with the new year's budget.

Now, on Monday, December 6, Spring Hill leaders will once again discuss disbanding the commission during their monthly non-voting meeting scheduled for 6 p.m.

That meeting will be held in-person Monday night at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 199 Town Center Parkway. To stream the meeting online, click here.

The Economic Development Commission was first established in 1999.

This story was edited on Dec. 7 to correct an error in which Monday night's meeting was described as a voting meeting. Monday night's meeting will be a non-voting meeting. The commission also has not had any funds allocated towards it in the current fiscal year's budget.
