Northern Area May Be Included In City
A Mount Airy committee of business leaders recommends extending city limits northward after a 60 year span. The plan surveys east, south and west to Ararat River near the Airport, including Matt Smith and part of Lovill's Creek area, with the Country Club possibly excluded. Additional northern sections such as Byerly Street and the cemetery are listed among potential inclusions with water and sewer considerations noted. A General Assembly act and a special election with prior voter registration would be required.
