Residents urge Council to reject reopening of former Westminster Speedway
Summary
Several residents told Oconee County Council on July 7, 2026, they oppose reopening the former Westminster Speedway; speakers asked Council to consider neighborhood impacts and community concerns.
Multiple residents used the public-comment period at the July 7 Oconee County Council meeting to urge Council not to re-open the former Westminster Speedway.
Don Massey, Audra Baldwin and Edward Baldwin each addressed the Council in opposition to the Speedway's re-opening and asked Council to consider impacts to neighbors. Chairman Matthew Durham later acknowledged and addressed those citizens during Council Member Comments.
No formal agenda item tied to a Speedway re-opening appeared on the meeting's consent agenda or public-hearing items at this session; the transcript records the speakers' opposition but does not include a formal motion or Council vote on the Speedway at this meeting. Council did not take action on the issue during the July 7 proceedings.
