Council approves voluntary annexation of roughly 62.5 acres off Fre School Road
Summary
The Reidsville City Council approved a petition from Reedville Bowen LLC to annex roughly 62.48 acres off Fre School Road after a brief public hearing; staff found the petition valid and recommended approval.
Reidsville — The Reidsville City Council on March 11 approved an ordinance to extend city corporate limits by voluntary annexation of approximately 62.48 acres identified on the Rockingham County tax records as parcel 18513 Z1 (Reedville Bowen LLC).
City staffer Jason Harden presented a fully executed annexation petition in the council packet and told members the petition was contiguous to existing city limits and that staff had found the filing valid. The council opened a public hearing at about 6:05 p.m., heard no in-person opposition, and closed the hearing at about 6:06 p.m. A council member moved to approve and the council approved the annexation by voice/hand vote.
The annexation will bring the parcel into Reidsville’s corporate limits; staff did not announce an effective date during the meeting. Harden said staff would follow statutory steps after the final ordinance adoption.
No public comment objecting to the annexation was recorded during the brief hearing. The council did not record a roll-call vote tally in the meeting transcript; the approval was taken by voice/hand vote at the meeting.
What happens next: staff will complete the required post‑hearing paperwork and record the ordinance as required by statute. The council did not discuss zoning changes or development plans for the annexed parcel during the March 11 meeting.
