Summary
The board approved rezoning about 115 acres on Old Augusta Road from R‑1 to light industrial for warehousing and distribution; developers committed to a 150‑foot buffer, rear truck courts and stormwater safeguards, and a local tenant (JIT Warehousing) has pledged to occupy the first building.
