Could the town of Cloverdale be growing in the near future?
It is possible after the Cloverdale Town Council began initial discussions at its town council meeting Tuesday evening of growing by four parcels of land. 

Cloverdale town manager Jason Hartman told council he was approached by landowners who own 30 to 40 acres of land east of the old Holiday Inn site about being annexed into the town. 
Hartman said the redevelopment commission talked about it and supports the annexation and that he was approaching council to see if he should start the process. 

In addition, Hartman said there are three parcels of land surrounding Cloverdale that are not currently in the town limits. One property is on North Lincoln Street, while another is on South Lafayette St. and the final is east of Whitaker Funeral Home. 

"If we are going to do annexation, I thought if we can get voluntary annexation from these additional parcels, I would like to do them all at the same time. My recommendation is we only do it if it is voluntary because involuntary is substantially more difficult to do. If those people are agreeable to annexation, I would recommend doing it all at the same time. I don't really want any of those to hold up the annexation of the 40 acres," Hartman told council. 

Council voted 3-0 in favor of allowing Hartman permission to move forward with the annexation work on all four parcels. Council members Greg Jay and Scott Stierwalt were absent. 

In addition, the council tabled items pertaining to speed limits and street lights to next month's meeting.
