Springfield, MO - Monday night Springfield City Council approved a rezoning request that paves the way for Hy-Vee to build its second Springfield grocery store. It will be located on a 10 acre lot in the 2100 block of east Sunshine. The vote was 7-1, with only Councilman Scott Bailes voting in opposition. Neighbors who opposed the request filed a petition requiring the bill to have at least six council members approve the measure. Residents had voiced concerns the store would be too big for the area, would reduce property values, and increase congestion in the neighborhood.
