The Jefferson City Council's Annexation Committee has accepted a plan by city staff to move forward on an annexation proposal on the western side of the city.
Following the committee's Thursday meeting, the staff will now work on a plan of intent to bring to the full council involving an area of 158.2 acres in the Apache Flats area, which includes 27 housing units and two hotels. Included in the area are the Hampton Inn, Comfort Suites, J.C. Mattress Factory, a quarry, a turtle farm and the Meadows by the Club subdivision.
Also at Thursday's meeting, Nickolaus said they are very close to a settlement with St. Martins regarding annexation issues.
