The Elizabethtown City Council met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.

The council approved an ordinance on second reading approving the annexation of about 154 acres at Gaither Station Road and South Ring Road. As read from the ordinance by City Attorney Ken Howard, “the property will be zoned General Industrial or I-1 and Suburban Residential Limited R-1 upon annexation based on the Planning Commission’s recommendation.” The Elizabethtown Hardin County Industrial Foundation purchased the property in 2024 for the establishment of a new industrial park.

Elizabethtown Stormwater Management Director Rita Davis gave an update on the city’s stormwater system following weekend rain that measured more than 4.5 inches. Davis said a storm like this 15 or 20 years ago would likely have been more damaging.

“While our creeks were out of their banks and we did see some localized flooding in areas, I think we handled that much rain pretty well with all the improvements that we’ve done, the basins that we have, the lakes that we have invested in,” Davis said. “I think the proof is in the pudding, all the work that we’ve done.”

Davis also said the city’s application for Tree City USA recognition was recently approved.

“We will have some tree ordinances to further regulate some of the tree removals and have some offsetting, as far as if a tree of a certain size is removed we would want additional at a ratio to be replaced based on the size of that tree,” Davis said.

The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet February 24.
