This area was a residential neighborhood a few years ago. The neighborhood was rezoned to OM/MU
Old Meridian Mixed Use on the southern portion and B- 6/Business and US 31 Corridor Overlay Zone
on the northern portion. The residential plat with the lots and streets were vacated, and most of the
homes were demolished. There are about 6 -7 occupied homes left at the northwest corner of the site.
