Commission rejects Mabscott annexation request
The Raleigh County Commission unanimously denied Mabscott’s petition to annex 4.9 acres at 105 Old Wickham Road, a move tied to a long running zoning dispute over Keith and Elizabeth Harden’s property and Keith Harding Trucking Inc. The decision cited avoidance of county zoning and followed prior planning and zoning rulings.
