Morning Minute: Wednesday, November 11, 2020

News About Town: During the regular Board of Commissioners meeting this past Monday, the Board voted to allow Lat Purser & Associates to withdraw their application for rezoning on the property at Weddington and Trade Street. Typically rezoning requests are accepted or denied. Withdrawing allows the same property to come before the board within a year, whereas a denial would prohibit another rezoning application for that one-year time period.
