Jamestown officials expect a Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to not use central territorial zoning and to hand control of the one mile area outside town to Guilford County on a year to year basis. The move follows census figures showing more than 1,250 residents for the required area and notes Jamestown’s population rose from 1,247 in 1860 to 1,297 in 1970.
