Nearby: Clemmons, NCBarring any last-minute changes, the much debated and failed Tanglewood Business Park will fade from the landscape in undeveloped Forsyth County bordering Clemmons and be replaced by a massive residential development. With it will come a swap from GI and RS-40 to RS-15 and a single-family housing district calling for up to 360 homes located only about one-half mile down the road from the nearby Riverwalk project that was approved by the county commissioners a few years ago and will provide 500-plus homes and townhomes not far away that will also be accessible from Idols Road. Welcome to gridlock in the village with two-lane Middlebrook Drive providing the main route of access to U.S. 158 and on to what’s already the congested mess of Lewisville-Clemmons Road on the way to I-40. And it’s just not the crushing impacts of an escalation of traffic, infrastructure and land use issues with the Yadkin River just west of the upcoming sprawling additions.

In addition to handling their normal daily duties, they dedicated vital time and energy to ensuring local citizens could locate their assigned polling places. As an election judge and an election help desk official, we are deeply grateful for their unwavering support of the democratic process. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the library staff. This is just one more reason why it remains the most active branch in our county library system. Thank you.

Nearby: Clemmons, NCMichelle Barson, mayor pro tem and council member, concluded the previous Clemmons Village Council meeting with news they she had just found out regarding Forsyth County having a public hearing on an air quality permit on Dec. 1 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Clemmons Library. And she did the same at the end of Monday night’s meeting during council comments with more on the details and an explanation to clarify the board’s stance from a legal perspective. “As it relates to the proposed asphalt plant, I want to reiterate it is not within this council’s ability to be for or against this project,” Barson said. “Legally, we cannot be for or against this project. There is a theory that commenting on it or attending the upcoming public hearing hosted by the county may even unintentionally influence the administrative process.

We remember those who we served beside, and we remember those who never made it home,” said post 9010 Senior Vice Commander Matt Merckson, tearing up. “Behind every name is a story, behind every veteran is a family and behind every sacrifice are those spouses, children and other loved ones who also carried part of the burden of their memorial service.
