Lewisville Redevelopment Commission presents housing‑focused economic plan to county commission

Justin Thompson, president of the Lewisville Redevelopment Commission, presented an adopted economic development plan to the Henry County Plan Commission and said the Lewisville town council approved the plan at its May meeting.

Thompson told commissioners the plan concentrates on housing and on activating the U.S. 40 corridor. "As you could see within the document itself, it's really about housing," he said while offering to answer questions. Commissioners thanked the redevelopment commission for the work and asked no substantive questions at the meeting.

Staff subsequently read a proposed order verifying the declaratory resolution and the economic development area documentation filed by the Lewisville Redevelopment Commission, citing the statutory filing procedures in the referenced act. The commission indicated affirmative verification; the transcript records the reading and affirmations but does not include full roll‑call vote counts.

Clarifying details: The staff read that the Lewisville Redevelopment Commission adopted a declaratory resolution on 05/19/2026 (resolution number 51926A) and that the plan commission is verifying the filing pursuant to the cited statutory section. The commissioner record indicates affirmation of the filing and the plan, per the transcript.

Ending: The commission verified the filed documents and recorded affirmation; staff will handle the recordation and any follow‑up required by statute.
