Aberdeen board accepts petition to begin annexation of 39.46‑acre Old Village Enterprises parcel
Summary
The Aberdeen Town Board voted Jan. 13 to accept a voluntary annexation petition from Old Village Enterprises, LLC for a 39.46‑acre parcel east of Pee Dee Road and approved a resolution directing the clerk to investigate the petition's sufficiency; both actions were unanimous.
The Aberdeen Town Board on Jan. 13 voted unanimously to accept a voluntary annexation petition from Old Village Enterprises, LLC for 39.46 acres east of Pee Dee Road and authorized the town clerk to investigate the sufficiency of the petition.
Assistant Planning Director Chad Hall told the board the petition (PID 00056777) was submitted to begin annexation proceedings and asked the board to start the statutory process. Mayor Pro‑tem Bryan Bowles moved to accept the petition; Commissioner Wilma Laney seconded and the vote was 5‑0. The board then approved Resolution No. 25‑01, directing the clerk to investigate the petition under the statutory procedures that govern annexation petitions.
Why it matters: annexation initiates a formal process that may extend municipal services, zoning, and land‑use regulations to the parcel. The resolution references the statutory investigation required under North Carolina law before further annexation steps proceed.
What happens next: the Town Clerk will investigate the petition’s sufficiency as directed by the board; the resolution sets in motion the next procedural step but does not itself annex the property.
