Lee County Commission tables rezoning request that would allow new concrete plant

“Lee County commissioners voted Tuesday to table a rezoning matter that could result in a new concrete plant coming to the county.

The delay was approved by a 3-2 vote when it became apparent that commissioners were not certain if the property was seized through eminent domain or if it was a voluntary transaction. Frich said he understood the land was taken in 1995 through eminent domain, but that the owner was cooperative and did not oppose the deal.”
