Council discusses possible boundary adjustment to include industrial park, cemetery and town shop
Summary
Council discussed a potential boundary-line adjustment — previously done in 1990 — to bring the industrial park, cemetery and town shop into Crew limits. Staff proposed surveying affected residents about tax and water-rate tradeoffs before approaching the county.
Council discussed a potential boundary-line adjustment affecting the industrial park and adjacent parcels. Staff reported a 1990 boundary change that previously brought the industrial park into town limits and noted recent land transactions near the park; moving the Dominion substation into town limits was cited as a potential revenue benefit.
Staff proposed compiling a list of affected residents and sending informational letters outlining tradeoffs (town taxes vs. in‑town water rate savings) to gauge resident interest before pursuing formal annexation with the county board of supervisors. Council agreed to continue investigating cost/benefit implications and to delay formal outreach to the county until the budget cycle is complete.
No formal action was taken at this meeting; staff will continue analysis and resident outreach.
