TUPELO – The Tupelo Planning Committee has taken the first step in amending the city’s municipal code to expand uses for property in mixed-use zones downtown, the latest move in the ongoing process of modernizing the city’s codes.

In a move that Development Services Director Tanner Newman called a “proactive” step in the further development of downtown Tupelo, the committee voted unanimously among present members to recommend the Tupelo City Council approve an amendment to building codes pertaining to the mixed-use downtown overlay district.
