Oconee County Downzones Large Acreage In Northeast Of County That Was To Be 196-Lot Old Barnett Estates Subdivision

***Board Formally Approves 3.9 Percent Tax Cut For Most Of County***

The Oconee County Board of Commissioners approved in quick order and with very little discussion a long list of rezone requests on Tuesday night after no one turned out to speak in opposition to any of the requests and the only ones speaking in favor in each case were the applicant or the applicant’s representative.

Included was a downzone of 203.7 acres in the triangle of Oconee County on the northeast side of the Oconee River squeezed between Clarke and Oglethorpe counties.
