The Millbrook City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday night to approve a $4.2 million downtown revitalization plan, clearing the way for construction to begin as early as next spring. The measure, which passed after nearly three hours of public comment, will fund new streetscaping, improved lighting, and facade renovation grants for local businesses along Main Street. Mayor Linda Tran called it "a turning point for downtown." Council member Ray Okafor, one of the two dissenting votes, raised concerns about timeline and contractor oversight.
