Family Businesses and Rezoning

Friday, January 9th, 2009
Good Afternoon!

With the recent discussion related to the rezoning of properties on both 411 and Montvale Road.  I have a question and I am seeking input.  Family businesses for many years have been a backbone of both employment and taxes in Blount County.  When zoning came along these business, many of which, were located out in the county and in what one would consider residential areas. 

As our County grows so do these family businesses, I mean they are local and have a interest in the local economy and contribute to the local economy as well.

How are these businesses supposed to grow?  Where are they supposed to grow?  Are they supposed to grow?

Please feel free to chime in as I intend to bring this discussion up before the County Commission soon.

Thanks!
