City Council holds VVJGA wraps up season heated hearing on workforce housing By VERNON ROBISON The Progress The Mesquite City Council faced a passionate crowd at a meeting held on Tuesday evening, July 27. On the meeting’s agenda were two proposals aimed at fulfilling a long-held strategic goal for the city to bring new workforce housing projects to the community. But the crowd in attendance was vigorously opposed to one of them. The Council held two public hearings on resolutions for zone change requests. Each request would pave the way for higher-density multi-family housing projects, aimed at the city’s workforce, to be built. After more than an hour of heated public comment, the council finally voted to approve the smaller of the two requests and to table the larger one for further negotiations with the developer.
