The firm plans offices and possibly a plant, with opposition from a 39-signature petition. Paul Black supported the deal, owning adjoining 60 acres. Denials were issued for Walter Byerly’s Old High Point Thomasville Road area rezoning, Reed Construction Co’s Blair Street tract for apartments, and Fred Everhart’s Amazon Road property from residential three to commercial four. A Blair Street residents group opposed the rezoning, as did 54 signees against Everhart. David Lambeth opposed more commercial zoning in Amazon, citing dirt, rats, and junked cars. he will seek health department action. City Council discussed junked cars, prepared a new ordinance, and questioned enforcement beyond city limits. Other actions included appointing Freddie Perdue to the Davidson County Community Action board, approving July 1969 tax releases, naming Citizens Advisory Committee members, and enacting traffic control prohibitions on National Highway.
