PORT WENTWORTH, Ga. (WTOC) – The City of Port Wentworth could be putting a pause on industrial rezoning.
The council is considering an Industrial Moratorium.
If approved, it will make rezoning land nearly impossible for a certain period of time.
We spoke with Port Wentworth’s city manger who says council believes now is a good time to step back and look at the city’s zoning ordinances that haven’t been updated in nearly a decade.
City manager Steve Davis said, “and to take just a good look at everything in the city and make sure that as we develop, we do it in a manner that protects the residents here and helps enhance the quality of life with them, because we have a lot of traffic issues we have a lot of storm water issues they want us to get a good look at that and wrap our heads around it.”
Right now, the proposed moratorium would last six months.
Port Wentworth’s council meeting is Thursday evening at 7 o’clock in City Hall.
