Hollywood Casino Hotel: Hospitality investment near Speedway Boulevard in the Village West corridor.
Missing Middle Housing: A 24-unit townhome development at 700 N. 75th Street and a duplex conversion at 403 Barnett Avenue.
Short-Term Rentals: Multiple non-owner-occupied short-term rental permit requests across the county.
