Dandridge Council is asking the town’s planning commission for a recommendation on potential annexation of a 33-acre site on West Highway 25/70 where developers are planning a new concept called an RV “home park.”
In the same meeting Tuesday night, a motion to refer an 80-acre parcel for annexation review died without a second – leaving plans for a large residential development off Old Highway 92 in question.
