Grottoes Considers Allowing UTVs On Town Streets
Grottoes Town Council voted to amend the golf cart ordinance to include utility terrain vehicles after a citizen request.

The council also set a public hearing for March 15 to rezone 2 acres at 8th Street and Dogwood Avenue from B1 to R3, linked to the sale of the old silk mill property by the Maury Sr. estate.
