Video: Summerfield
Start
Worcester County Commissioners meeting of 6/7/2005. Video segment covers discussion of Summerfield project in Snow Hill..

There are times when people don't know what they are missing by not attending County Commissioners meetings. Last Tuesday was a perfect example as hundreds of folks showed up to hear the Commissioners discuss sewage and zoning for the proposed Summerfield project in Snow Hill.

Normally this would be pretty boring stuff, but Tuesday Minnie Pearl made a personal appearance and engaged the Commissioners in some unusual repartee for a Commissioners meeting.

As more or less of an aside, an anticlimax actually, the county removed all areas proposed for a new sewer district except the actual Summerfield area and also approved neecessary zoning for the development. When the vote came on zoning and the Commissioners approved, there was a good round of applause, in spite of a general preconception the people were there to protest against the development. However, many of  who applauded may not be Snow Hill residents.
