Madison Wood Preservers seeks rezoning for property expansion at Oak Park Road

The Preliminary Development Meeting held on April 2, 2025, in Madison County, Virginia, focused on a significant rezoning application by Madison Wood Preservers Inc. The company seeks to rezone two properties located at 98 Oak Park Road and 206 Oak Park Road from residential (R2) to industrial (M2) to facilitate its expansion.

Carrie Gaviria, representing Madison Wood Preservers, presented the case, highlighting that the properties, totaling approximately 1.637 acres, are intended to be integrated into the company's existing operations. The primary facility is situated along Seminole Trail, near the intersection with Oak Park Road. The rezoning aligns with previous discussions held during Planning Commission workshops, where the company outlined its expansion plans.

Panel members expressed support for the application, noting that it meets the criteria for rezoning and aligns with the county's comprehensive plan. The current workforce at Madison Wood Preservers stands at 108 employees, indicating the company's established presence in the area.

The panel unanimously recommended moving the application forward to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for further consideration. This step marks a significant move towards the potential growth of Madison Wood Preservers and its operations in Madison County.
