BISCOE - Town of Biscoe Commissioners voted during their regular meeting Monday to rezone .56 acres of land from Heavy Industrial to Highway Business. The property, located directly across from the entrance to Montgomery Crossing shopping center on N.C. 24/27, is owned by Montgomery Farms, LLC, who requested the change.
Beau Jackson, representing Montgomery Farms, told the board that a new road would be constructed along the lines of the present intersection. The road would be built in order to open up adjacent land for development.
Commissioner John Beard asked Jackson if there was a particular project in mind for the property.
“There are a few things in the works, but nothing I can tell you about,” said Jackson.
David VanDerveer of Montgomery Farms did confirm later that the property has been sold but that he was unable to disclose any details at this time.
In other business, board members Beard, Gene Anderson, Jimmy Cagle, Jerry Smith and Mayor pro-tem Mike Criscoe:
• Recognized Public Works Director David Asbill for 27 years of service to the town. Asbill is retiring this month.
• Approved matching funds for a grant being requested from the N.C. State Fire Marshal's Office by the Biscoe Fire Department. Funds would be used for equipment upgrades.
• Scheduled a series of budget workshops to be held during April and May.
• Held a closed session to discuss a personnel issue. No action was taken.
