The Barisi Village TIRZ 6 project moved forward today after city council members voted to approve the project and financing plan.
Despite the approval, several council members voiced concerns over developer Jeff Blackard's lack of a firm start date for the long-awaited development.
Some council members also requested that Blackard provide an in-person update on the project's status.
The Barisi Village project was first proposed in 2012 and aims to transform the former country club into an Italian-style village featuring restaurants, shops, housing, a hotel and golf course.
