4 issues in general
Sale of trail-adjacent orphan parcels
Three city slivers sold to adjoining homeowners, with the council wrestling with trail buffers, no-build setbacks and whether proceeds should benefit the neighborhoods the parcels came from.
Alcohol Policy
Highland is finally getting ready to ditch its old-school dry laws, which means you might soon be able to grab a drink right in town. It's a pretty massive culture shift for a city that has traditionally banned booze.
Alcohol Sales Policy
Highland is asking residents if they want to ditch its dry city status and finally allow alcohol sales. Your feedback on the upcoming survey will directly shape whether local laws change.
Alcohol Sales Ban
Highland is thinking about lifting its longtime ban on alcohol sales, which could finally bring new restaurants and lively dining options to town. If this goes through, you might soon be able to grab a beer with dinner right here in the neighborhood instead of driving elsewhere.
