Mahomet commission recommends zoning change

MAHOMET – Commercial growth is what Mahomet area residents want, and commercial growth is what they will get if the Mahomet Village Board approves a unanimous recommendation from the Plan and Zoning Commission this month.

The commission voted 4-0 Tuesday to recommend approval of a zoning map amendment for the Blackstone Group from a R-3 residential, multiple-family district to a C-2, general commercial district at 706 and 708 E. Main St. and at part of 703 E. Franklin St.
