A section of Franklin Street in Mount Airy, currently mostly residential, is under consideration for rezoning. The proposed change is linked to the development of the new Granstone Conference Center being built in the area.
City officials have scheduled a public hearing to discuss the rezoning application and gather community input. The outcome will determine how the land use around the conference center is regulated moving forward.
**Why this matters**
Rezoning this area could impact local residents by changing the neighborhood’s character and land use. It also plays a key role in supporting the expansion of the Granstone Conference Center, which may influence economic and community development in Mount Airy.
