Don't Rezone Lot On Taft Highway For Office Space

  • Thursday, February 22, 2018

I have just learned that the town has passed a rezoning request to rezone a residential home and lot located at 1403 Taft Highway to office space zoning. 

The last and final reading on this rezoning will take place on March 12 at the Town Hall meeting and I would like to encourage all residents of the town to come and voice their opinion. 

There are many of us that feel the mountain is becoming over commercialized and losing the small town feeling we all moved here to enjoy. 

The area where this development is planned for is Albert Road at Taft Highway. 

The planned development is for a 12,000 square foot office complex with 50 + parking spaces. 

We would like the Town Council to back away from this zoning change so we can come together as a community and decide what we would like our Mountain to look like in the future, we just can’t look at an immediate economic gain for a few people, but how it impacts the entire community. 

Please come to the Town Hall meeting on March 12 and in the mean time call and write your Town Council people.
