Rezoning Plea Faces County Commission Hearing
Attorney Samuel W. Barrick argues to reclassify Mrs. Effie Thomas 2 acre tract on U S 15 Harmony Grove from residential to commercial to boost traffic and tax revenue. County Planner Arthur Hatton objects citing lack of need and residential best use while noting 16 acres already zoned commercial nearby and planned controlled access highway developments along U S 15. State Roads officials say rights of way are being pursued for a controlled access upgrade north of the highway.
