Melrose was a Mayor town founded and created by Martii_Scots01 in the New World. It was located at  P13  Melrose of the MRT Plains Line. Martii_Scots01 put the town up for sale in 2016. The town was purchased by _Kastle and the town has since ceased to exist, with the land now being a part of Covina.

The were 3 districts which were City Centre, Civic Services District and Residential District. There were also districts in planning which are Culture District, Entertainment Area, Shopping District, and Industrial District. Other districts which were in planning were planned to open after Martii_Scots01 received Senator.


History

Melrose is a town created by Martii_Scots01 which is currently at the 13th (unlucky for some!) station of the Plains Line ( P13  Melrose). Over the first few days of Gamma, staff were appointed; these early staffers were: jamess2912, hntredtie, TechnologyPro, Kottlewing and allifarki. The staff got shuffled one day, after allifarki got a 7-day tempban. So, RLcrafters was appointed to staff as [Councillor] to the town. After that, allifarki has re-joined City Staff, but in a new position, [Minister For Transit]. On the 29th October 2014, Martii_Scots01 promoted to the [Councillor] rank and Melrose became a [Councillor] ranked city! However, jamess2912 had to resign due to IRL reasons on the 30/11/2014 and so the position of Dep Mayor was took up by allifarki. The Minister for Transit position then was gave to Technological99 following several interviews with candidates. Unfortunately, on the 4th of January 2015, TechnologyPro decided to leave the server and decided to give up his Melrose City Staff position. On the 06/01/2015, stringle55 became the new Powerman after a relatively brief interview process. Then, on the 16th January 2015, thanks to chiefbozx and _MajorMagpie, Melrose was promoted to the [Mayor] rank! On the 17/01/2015, it was announced that hntredtie was going become the new Deputy Mayor of Melrose and that jamess2912 was going to return to the staff team as Chancellor! Allifarki was then removed from the staff team due to his inactivity. Now, Melrose has now becoming better and better from time to time.

The Concept

The concept for this town is that it will feature builds which use many different materials. The town will be separated into districts; this shall be explained in the Districts section.

Government Policies

Here is a list of Melrose Policies:
