Huntsville once again grew geographically this week, although this growth spurt was a little modest compared to other annexations this year.

The City Council approved the annexation of about 24 acres on Thursday, pushing the total taken in this year to about 2,300 acres, the most in any year since 2008 , when the city annexed nearly 10,000 acres.

It also approved the zoning on Thursday of more than half of the land it has taken in this year.

The council voted to annex 14.62 acres east of Greenbrier Road, and north of Interstate 565 and 9.93 acres east of U.S. 431 South and south of Wade Road.

The Greenbrier property is owned by the city. Nirmala Investments, LLC, is listed as the owner of the property off U.S. 431 and Wade Road. No uses for either annexation were listed in agenda doc
