Zoning Clause Dropped In High Point Industrial Park Plan
A planning commission vote removed a restrictive clause from a plan for a high growth industrial park. MAC Panel Co officials protested arguing the 25 percent site-building limit and ratio changes would hinder expansion and force relocation to Thomasville or Winston-Salem. City staff will seek compromise after public hearing is set and discussions with MAC Panel officials and Alderman Studios.
