Commercial rezoning approved

The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted Jan. 3 to approve a request by Racetrac Petroleum Inc. to rezone 2.29 acres on the northeast corner of Jodeco Road and Patrick Henry Parkway from single-family residential to highway commercial for a gas station and convenience store. The board also voted to amend the county’s comprehensive plan and designate the site as commercial. Chairman June Wood abstained from both votes.
