Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Wilkes County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Countywide RV Park/Camping Ordinance
After a packed Planning Board meeting, commissioners directed staff to draft comprehensive countywide rules for RV parks and camping, including 24-hour supervision, security, and restroom/shower facilities. The push stems from concerns about a Rock Creek site with no utilities and expensive transportation options.
VAD/EVAD ordinance amendment
State law now requires a public hearing before the Agricultural Advisory Board when land in a voluntary agricultural district faces rezoning — the county's ordinance needs to catch up. A hearing is set for April 7.
