The Cleveland County Commissioners held a meeting on January 16, 2024, where several key decisions were made, including zoning changes and board appointments.

One of the primary discussions involved a request to rezone a property located at 3505 Foster Road. The commissioners unanimously approved the request, allowing the property to remain in its current zoning district, which permits its use as a residential area. This decision was significant as it addressed previous concerns regarding compliance with zoning regulations along Highway 18, where similar requests had been made in the past.

In addition to zoning matters, the meeting included the appointment of members to various advisory committees. The commissioners appointed Phyllis Williams and Derek Chambers to the Adult Care Home Advisory Committee for a one-year term ending January 1, 2025. They also nominated Linda Putnam, Elaine Champion, and Donna Buies to the Nursing Home Advisory Committee for a three-year term expiring on June 30, 2026. Furthermore, five individuals—Valerie McCoy, Julie Crocs, Marion Pine, Rick Olaf, and Joseph Collins—were appointed to the Veterans Advisory Council, also for a three-year term.

The meeting concluded with a reminder that the next session of the Board of Commissioners is scheduled for February 6, 2024, at 6 PM in the Commissioner's Chambers. This meeting highlighted the ongoing efforts of the Cleveland County Commissioners to address community needs through zoning adjustments and the establishment of advisory committees.
