Tazewell zoning plan still a work in progress
A draft zoning proposal for Tazewell County is under review by the Planning Commission as officials weigh limited versus county wide zoning. County Administrator Jim Spencer says the plan is not yet presented to the Board of Supervisors and a Sept. 5 work session is planned. If a limited plan is adopted it could apply to areas such as the U S Route 460 corridor to guide growth and shield residents from undesirable developments such as a medical waste incinerator. The draft remains unfinished and will require public hearings before final action.
