Sheetz zoning reversal: ‘Slimy politics’ & the monetization of Warren County

The following members of the Board of Supervisors don’t care what their constituents think:

• Tony Carter, Happy Creek District
• Cheryl Cullers, South River District
• Delores Oates, North River District

Tonight they voted to allow for a rezoning so that Sheetz can build a “convenience store” at Exit 13 right at the entrance to Apple Mountain Lake. They voted it down in February and Mr. Carter (who is actually supposed to represent us) actually brought it up for a re-vote even though he voted it down in February under the pretense of a “bus stop”. This was not about a bus stop. This was about money pure and simple.

Shame on them for voting for the destruction of the character of Linden. The community overwhelming showed them that we didn’t want it but they didn’t listen. Money trumps caring about people it seems.

So, your first sight into coming in Warren County from 66 – a Sheetz. I hope you didn’t build out here to get away from commercialism or to live in the country! The Board of Supervisors has stripped both those hopes away tonight.

Just more slimy politics folks. Nothing to see here, move along.
