He gave information to the Council supporting the rezoning. Council President Warthen opened the floor for public comments. Josh Heavran came before the Council as he owns the property across the street requested that the Council deny the request as the land in the area is farmland, and because of that the introduction of unknown industrial uses will have a significant impact on surrounding property values. Councilman Williams acknowledged that the comprehensive plan needs to be updated. He asked if Mr. Heavran had considered what his property value would be if it were to be rezoned as industrial. Mr. Heavran called Councilman Williams's inquiry a slap in the face as he is making the case to preserve not only his family's heritage but also the farming heritage of the Town of Mooresville.
