Metro Councilmember Joy Styles' efforts to move along plans for the Global Mall redevelopment got a green light at the planning commission meeting Thursday night.

The items were heard on the commission’s consent agenda, so there was no discussion about the mall plans. However, Styles attended and thanked the planning commission members for including the site plans on consent. She pointed out that she is particularly excited about being able to move forward with the plans for a performing arts center, daycare, hotel and artist housing. The development also includes a transit center, education facilities and community greenspace.
