Mt Airy moratorium unsure impact on Frall Developers
Holly Harrison of Frall Developers says the Mount Airy building moratorium approved by the town council is unlikely to affect her company immediately. She notes most large projects are already under way or in planning and mentions 38 residential units built last year plus a new Main Street commercial property, with uncertainty over how the limit of five units per year for one year will apply amid water supply and pump capacity concerns.

Judge denies Goode appeal ahead of execution in Florida
A federal judge in Tampa refused to halt the scheduled electric chair death of condemned child killer Arthur Goode, ruling his habeas corpus petition frivolous and an abuse of the writ. The decision came less than 24 hours before Goode’s planned 7 am execution for the 1976 murder of 9 year old Jason Verdon in Cape Coral, with Goode’s attorneys planning appeals to higher courts while Goode had earlier claimed insanity.

Mount Airy restricts recreation vehicle use to curb noise
Mount Airy Town Council adopted an emergency ordinance banning motorcycles and similar vehicles inside town limits except on public roads. Violations carry 25 dollars for the first offense and 50 dollars for subsequent offenses. Residents blamed motorcyclists using an old quarry on Twin Arch Road for noise, with some urging limits on private land riding and potential roping off nearby lands for recreation. State officials said noise readings will be taken if complaints arise.
