The latest, from Oct 22: The commission had a preliminary plat approval item for 314 Jeff Davis Avenue submitted by Revival Property LB 112 and agent Michael Craven. It was listed under unfinished business on the October 22, 2026 agenda, so the plat was still pending and could still change before the appeal period and Mayor and Board of Aldermen approval on November 3, 2026. This is a concrete private development lead for site design and build-out work.
