This included 202 new home construction permits consisting of 132 single-family detached and 70 single-family attached (townhomes) units.

New commercial projects opened, under construction or approved include: Popeye’s Chicken (restaurant) in Menards Commons; Verizon Wireless (stand-alone retail building) and Smoothie King (beverage shop) in Kendall Marketplace; and Dunkin Donuts (restaurant) within the Gas ‘N Wash development. Future commercial openings under review also includes a new restaurant, Silver Fox, which is a remodel of the former Blackstone building in Heartland Center.
 
Finally, the City Council approved a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to permit legally non-conforming signs to add digital message boards and authorized final plat approvals for new townhomes within the Townes at Kendall Marketplace and Grande Reserve subdivisions.
