A joint public hearing in Smyth County on March 26, 2026, covered two special-use permit requests: a proposed automotive salvage (junkyard) at 169 Old Prater Road that drew large public comment and a contentious planning commission discussion that ended in a 3-3 deadlock to be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors; the commission approved a special-use permit for an RV park (Divus Farms LLC).
