The Montgomery Planning Commission made significant strides in urban development during its meeting on July 24, 2025, approving a key final plat that will reshape local industry. Taylor Manning from Pilgrim and Bostick presented a request for final approval of a unique plat located on the east side of Mobile Highway, approximately 600 feet south of Coca Cola Road. This project involves dividing one lot into two within the M-1 Light Industry Zoning District.

Manning addressed the commission, confirming the plan to create two lots from the existing single lot. After a brief discussion, the commissioners swiftly moved to approve the request, with a unanimous vote signaling strong support for the development.

This decision marks a notable step in enhancing the industrial landscape of Montgomery, potentially paving the way for new businesses and job opportunities in the area. The commission's efficient handling of the request reflects a commitment to fostering growth and development within the city.

As the meeting progressed, the commission also considered another plat request for 400 North Perry Street, indicating ongoing efforts to manage and develop urban spaces effectively. The swift approval of the Mobile Highway plat underscores the commission's proactive approach to urban planning and development in Montgomery.
