City closing in on halfway house rules

City planners are finalizing new ordinance provisions to allow group residential facilities for juveniles and adults to exist in Mount Airy as an alternative for persons who otherwise might be behind bars. The Mount Airy Planning Board has moved closer toward establishing a regulatory framework in light of interest being shown in such a facility in town. While some forms of residential group homes or extended-stay facilities presently exist in Mount Airy, that board and city Planning Director Byron Brown are now focused solely on “halfway houses” as “stand-alone” SR (special requirements) entities. Newly developed language has been added to a proposed city ordinance governing such homes in accordance with this. It defines a halfway house as “a licensed home for juveniles or adult persons on release from more restrictive custodial confinement or initially placed in such more restrictive custodial confinement.” In a halfway house, “supervision, rehabilitation and counseling is provided to assist residents back into society, enabling them to live independently,” the proposal states. No change has occurred in the city zoning districts where such facilities can be placed as the regulatory process evolved recently. These include R-4 (Office-Residential), B-2 (General Business) and B-5 (Medical Business). A halfway house

Election results in Yadkin County, sales tax increase fails to pass (again)

Most of the local races in Yadkin County were already decided via the primary or with candidates running unopposed. In the one contested municipal race in the town of Boonville, incumbent Greg Wagoner reclaimed his seat with 209 votes as did newcomer Michael G. Wilkins with 200 votes. Incumbent William Paul Baity, a former commissioner who was appointed to the board earlier this year, failed to reclaim his seat, coming in with a total of 172 votes. The Yadkin County sales tax referendum also failed to pass. This is the fifth time the measure has been on the ballot over the past several years, but still no dice. County leaders held info sessions and promoted the referendum, attempting to educate voters on how the quarter cent increase would aid the county, but to no avail. The vote totals were 7,037 against and 6,147 for. In the state legislature, Senate District 36 incumbent, Republican Eddie Settle, reclaimed his seat with a nearly 73 percent majority over Democrat challenger Trevor Cole Hardwick. State House incumbent, Republican Julia Howard, also claimed a handy victory with nearly 71 percent of the vote against Democrat challenger Sabrina Harris.

East Bend issues scathing press release regarding water dispute with county

The town of East Bend has issued a press release regarding its ongoing legal dispute with Yadkin County over the water rates. The release is a no holds barred account, from the town’s perspective, of the dispute which became a legal matter in 2024. At issue is the rate which the county charges the town for water, which is provided through a waterline completed by the County in 2018 that connects East Bend to a water treatment facility in Forsyth County. The two parties met in a Yadkin County courtroom in September for a status review hearing with Judge Michael Duncan presiding, but no resolution was reached at that time and the matter is set to go to trial in early 2027. As part of the court proceedings in September, attorneys for both the town of East Bend and Yadkin County gave opening statements describing the events that lead to the legal dispute. Andy Fitzgerald, an attorney representing East Bend, began by describing the history of the situation where the wells supplying water for East Bend were no longer usable and the town reached out to the county for assistance. Fitzgerald said the county “answered the call” and for that
