Secon setback sparks lots of discussion

There was only one item on the Red Bud City Council’s agenda Monday night, excluding the evening’s consent agenda, so it initially seemed like it would be a short meeting. However, the council ended up holding discussions on that one item for almost an hour.

The topic – an ordinance that would grant a variance to change the setbacks for Secon Rubber and Plastics’ property off of Kaskaskia Drive, allowing for the company’s future expansion.
