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.

Ashe County voters split from statewide election trends in 2026 midterms

ASHE COUNTY — Three incumbent Republican Ashe County Commissioners retained their board seats against two democratic challengers during the 2026 midterm elections. Mike Eldreth received 7,502 votes; Todd McNeill followed with 7,477 votes, and Jerry Powers received 6,823 votes. Democratic candidates Les Colvard and Caroline Renfro received 4,318 and 4,073 votes, respectively. In the Ashe County Board of Education race, incumbent Dianne Eldreth received 7,981 votes. Shane E. Little and Janet Ward rounded out the top-three candidates with 7,184 and 7,160, respectively. Democrat Jamie McNeill received 4,519 votes. Ashe Sheriff Phil Howell, who ran unopposed after defeating Republican challengers in the primary election, received 8,737 votes. Democrat Chuck Hubbard leads long-time Republican incumbent Virginia Foxx in the U.S. House of Representatives District 5 race. Although Hubbard led Foxx districtwide, Foxx received approximately 61% of the vote in Ashe County. “To be clear, the counting process has not ended under state law. Military ballots may be outstanding. Provisional ballots must still be counted,” Foxx said in a prepared statement. There were more than 1,000 provisional ballots cast in this contest two years ago, and Republicans netted a total that would eclipse the current margin. This counting process is expected to stretch
