The Spirit of Jefferson reports that the Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission unanimously recommended against the proposed Mountain Pure water bottling facility at the site of the old 3M factory in Middleway. Acting chair Addison Reese noted that this is likely the first time the commission has opposed a large concept plan, which could encompass up to one million square feet and create around 160 jobs, citing zoning code restrictions related to historic properties as the primary reason for their decision.
