The Spirit of Jefferson | Wednesday, January 22, 2025
In a recent vote by the county commission, a controversial provision concerning land use was removed from the proposed 2045 Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Jack Hefestay expressed concerns that the language could lead to unrestricted development, citing potential implications for local communities, including Charles Town and Harpers Ferry. The Planning Commission will now review the updated draft, with the possibility of further revisions if they disapprove. This decision, highlighted in The Spirit of Jefferson, reflects ongoing discussions about growth and development in the region.
