Scimeca and her husband bought a September second home near the George Washington National Forest and plan to offer it for short term lodging for visitors when not in use. Neighbors voiced concerns about noise and traffic but officials approved the conditional use permit after discussing safety and oversight, with managers to host and respond locally. Davis and other neighbors expressed safety fears, while supporters cited tourism benefits and market demand. Several other short term rental permits and airport hangar leases were also approved at the meeting.
