The Journal | Tuesday, April 8, 2025
Residents of Middleway gathered at Grantham Hall for a town hall hosted by Protect Middleway, discussing the future of a proposed water bottling facility by Sidewinder Enterprises LLC. Despite the planning commission's denial of the facility, organizers emphasized the importance of community engagement and survey feedback to prioritize local concerns. They shared insights on state-level discussions with local representatives, and the implications of House Bill 2014 on proposed developments like a data center complex in nearby Berkeley and Jefferson counties. This ongoing dialogue seeks to address environmental concerns while aiming for responsible business development.
