wyomingThe Wyoming City Council met on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 for its regular July monthly meeting.  There was no one absent.
Kate Barton of Kewanee Housing was present at the request of Dennis Rewerts of the Stark County Economic group.  Kate gave a overview of what was needed to begin any plan of having senior housing in Wyoming.  Some surveys must first be completed to evaluate need and feasibility.  The council took this under advisement and will continue to review.  This plan is at the beginning stages and most likely will take some time to ascertain the validity.
The board approved the downtown lighting subject to USDA approval, which should be known soon.
