Henry flood plain study update on the way

Henry County is using $2.284 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money to fund an update of the county’s flood plain study.

The Board of Commissioners approved the move at its June 7 regular meeting.

In unrelated county business, the board rejected an appeal of a recent Zoning Advisory Board decision and upheld the denial of a variance request regarding 14.9 acres on the south side of Stone Road. The applicant had requested relief from development standards, specifically the reduction of the road frontage requirement for a flag lot.
