Did the Richmond County Board of Commissioners recruit or re-zone property to lure ITD?

No.    The Richmond Board of Commissioners did not recruit nor rezone on behalf of International Tie Disposal.      

The Richmond County Commissioners voted to re-zone property along the CSX Hamlet rail yard to Heavy Industrial upon the unanimous approval and recommendation of the planning and zoning board.   CSX submitted a request  that all CSX owned property in Richmond County be rezoned to heavy industrial.     The property was found to be consistent with the land use plan of Richmond County & is adjacent to a heavily used rail yard & within an industrialized area.
