Patrick Fisher, Staff Writer

The New Market City Council reviewed a proposed plan for the development of the community’s downtown during a workshop at its Wednesday, Nov. 9, meeting.

Tom Whitlock of Damon Farber Associates said the proposed plan is still a work in progress. A task force has been working on the plan since June, using input from the public, business owners and landowners to help shape it. The plan will provide guidelines for the development of the community’s downtown district and covers a number of issues.
