A resident (speaker 1) spoke in support of the junkyard that has existed for decades, saying many local residents rely on inexpensive salvage parts to get to work and that the yard has not caused fish-hatchery contamination in the speaker's experience.

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).
