Industrial park businesses working toward permits
Summary
A 72-acre property on Orange Avenue would be rezoned from mostly single-family zoning to industrial, creating nine roughly 8-acre lots served by wells and septic. Supporters say it fits the corridor's evolution and creates jobs; critics' concerns center on truck traffic on a dangerous two-lane road.
