UDO sent to commissioners

The Owen County Plan Commission sent the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to the Owen County Commissioners during their May meeting.

The plan commission gave it an unfavorable recommendation.

And the commissioners were slated to either accept or reject the UDO as it is during their June 5 meeting. However, on June 3, Owen County Councilwoman Polly Chesser posted on her official Facebook page, "Because of failure to hold a public hearing on the UDO by the planning commission, the UDO will not be discussed at the upcoming commissioners' meeting on Thursday, June 5."

The agenda posted on the Owen County Indiana Government Facebook Page included the Plan Commission UDO as a new business item.

The Owen News will be following this developing story.
