Town hall set to discuss annexation

PICKENS — Concerned residents and non-residents are set to discuss a proposed 200-
acre annexation of property on Wolf Creek School Road with developers and Pickens city officials during a town hall meeting on Wednesday.
A change.org petition by Pam Winters against the annexation had gathered nearly 900 signatures as of Tuesday morning.
“We thrive in the charm of our small town and the tranquility of the surrounding community. This could be disrupted by the proposed annexation of parcel 4180-00-46-1109 and the development of 140 or more high-density housing units located at Mauldin Lake and Wolf Creek School Roads,” the petition reads. “Unwanted development threatens not only the aesthetics of our community, but the kind of life we’ve chosen for ourselves and our children.”
Pickens City Council discussed “negotiations incident to proposed contractual arrangements” during an executive session at its April 14 meeting but took no action on the matter.
Mayor Isaiah Scipio announced that a town hall meeting would be held to discuss the issue further.
The meeting is set for 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 23, in the county council chambers of the Pickens County administration building at 222 McDaniel Ave. in Pickens.
The agenda includes time for comments from Scipio, a presentation from the developer and property owner “as it relates to the development and site planning for property on
