FINAL Hearings on County SPO
The Planning and Development Committee was not able to finalize the SPO draft last week. The issue of general zoning in the Town of Sugar Camp remains unresolved.  The committee reconvenes on May 17. If Legislative and County counsel have reached an agreement by that time, discussions will go forward..
​A properly publicized Public Hearing and approval of the Board of Supervisors must then occur before the SPO takes effect.
