The Oconee County Planning Commission has only two items on its agenda for its Monday night meeting, but both items, if they are approved by the Board of Commissioners and developed as proposed, will have noticeable impact on the county.
Townley Family Partnership LLLP is asking the county to rezone 242.3 acres stretching from Clotfelter Road to Malcom Bridge Road from AG (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single Family Residential District) for a 119 lot residential subdivision.
The final day of early voting on Friday for the Dec. 9 House District 121 Special Election between Democrat Eric Gisler and Republican Mack “Dutch” Guest IV saw 665 Oconee County voters cast a ballot, the largest number of voters to turn out in the 14 days of early voting.
A total of 5,172 voters cast a ballot in Advance In Person voting and another 23 voted Absentee By Mail by the end of the day on Friday, meaning that 19.2 percent of the eligible voters in the county have cast a ballot going into Election Day on Tuesday.
