A Jones School meeting drew hundreds to discuss annexing a northern Mount Airy area and launching a redevelopment project for substandard housing. Proponents cited city services and safety benefits while opponents questioned costs and impact, with Housing Authority director David Hemmings leading the discussion.
Mount Airy Planning Board weighs Rehabilitation Project for Ward's Gap area to ease financing during annexation. Proposals include grants up to 838,000 for home rehab and up to 5,000 for homes in development areas, with some land sales and public housing optional. Divided opinions linger on redevelopment versus rehabilitation and impact on town costs.
Representatives from seven Sur ry County Ruritans clubs met at Eldora to survey interest in establishing a farm museum. Joe Matthews of the Northwest Economic Development Commission outlined the concept at a Monday night session attended by 14 club representatives.
A regional group promoting a county museum discussed broad support before proceeding. They seek a suitable site 25 to 50 acres, preferably a farm with outbuildings or space to import such structures, and plan a tobacco themed educational museum to boost tourism. An executive committee of three, Paul Key, Guy Coe, and Russell Bruland, will lead feasibility efforts.
