The Tuscaloosa City Council voted on Tuesday to indefinitely table a vote on granting a tax incentive for a developer to demolish two dozen homes and build a shopping center featuring new-to-market restaurants and retailers. The Tuscaloosa City Council was expected to vote on the proposed incentives on Tuesday, but instead Lanier asked for the matter to be tabled, or postponed, indefinitely. The council held a public hearing before the vote to table the issue, and three residents asked them not to grant the tax incentives. "It is unlikely that the reasonable, fair-minded residents of Tuscaloosa would support tax incentives to a private commercial development with no compelling reason to warrant support. After their comments, the city council voted unanimously to table a vote on the incentives.
