New wards drawn for City Council

Posted

Redistricting maps have been drawn for Shelbyville City Council’s six wards.

The map will be voted on at next week’s City Council meeting.

Few changes were made.

An area currently in Ward 2 in southern Shelbyville roughly north of Madison Street and east of Stanley Boulevard will be moving into Ward 2.

One chunk of the current Ward 5, comprising an area east of Colloredo Boulevard to both sides of North Main south of Colloredo/Fairfield Pike, will become part of Ward 4 and a small portion east of that point becomes part of Ward 3.

The city charter requires redistricting and reapportionment each 10 years based on federal census counts. The maps were drawn by the University of Tennessee’s Municipal Technical Advisory Service with input from city officials and council members.
