The Iowa City City Council voted Tuesday evening  to move forward with plans for the Moss Green Urban Village Project.

The city councilors approved an amendment to the project on a 6-1 vote during their formal meeting.

Amendment 1 to the urban-renewal plan includes the construction of Moss Ridge Road from Highway 1 west to the eastern boundary of the Moss Green Development Corp. property, as well as the installation of traffic-control improvements at the planned intersection with Highway 1.

The Iowa Transportation Commission approved a grant on Feb. 12 to provide partial funding of the 2,100-foot access road and to reconstruct 2,300 feet of Highway 1 north of Interstate 80, The Daily Iowan has previously reported.
