Save Criglersville from Destructive Spot Zoning

The Issue

On October 5, 2022 the Madison County Board of Supervisors will be voting on a proposal to rezone a 6 acre property in the heart of our residential & rural town as M-1 Industrial. This is bad for Criglersville and it's bad for the County.  

Let us tell you why....

  • It creates a dangerous precedent. The law requires specific criteria to be met in order for rezoning to be considered.  The County has not come close to meeting these criteria. If the County can arbitrarily rezone a residential area as industrial here, where there is no M-1 zone within 8 miles, then hey can do it anywhere....and that should worry everyone.

  • It will have adverse ENVIRONMENTAL impacts to the town, the Robinson River and adjacent farms.

  • It will destroy the tranquility and well being of residents by increasing the NOISE and TRAFFIC over 200%.

  • It unlawfully violates the rights of residents and is adverse to the best interests of the community and surrounding area.

We need to STOP this rezoning NOW! Criglersville residents deserve the right to determine their own future and prevent harmful development by outside entities who do not know our community and its needs.
