The measure follows prior proposals for two 150 bed centers and reflects tension with Chapter 10 boards over local versus institutional funding. The board aims to balance services for the retarded with taxpayer concerns while assessing community based training versus regional centers.

Harter Rezoning Request Draws Mixed Comments in Stephens City
At a joint Stephens City planning commission and town council hearing, six of twenty speakers supported Joseph and Selma Harter’s bid to rezone 512 N Main St from R-3 to C-1 for storage office space and a small appliance store. One opponent urged rezoning the entire northern street to commercial, while others backed the proposal. The hearing highlighted concerns about parking, competing commercial interests, and nearby properties including a nursing home and plans for a post office. The planning commission will consider the request the third week of July, with a town council decision possible in August.
