Residents urge Fender Bay Road closure; county to start public notice and hearing process
Summary
Three residents told commissioners the Fender Bay Road area has become a dumping ground and site of illegal activity; the board voted to begin the legal process to give public notice and hold a hearing on a potential road closure.
Atkinson County residents Jay Crosby, Jerome Crosby and Justin Fender told the board they support closing Fender Bay Road because it has become a frequent dumping site and a location for illegal activity, occurring "at all hours of the day and night," according to their statements to the board. H.C. Corbitt opposed the closure, saying it could devalue his property and suggesting increased deputy patrols as an alternative.
Vice-Chairperson Tom Morris moved to begin the legal process to provide public notice and hold a public hearing on the proposed closure. Commissioner Buddy Willis seconded the motion and it carried, initiating the county's formal process for considering the road closure and inviting broader public input at a later hearing.
