Councilwoman Barron to discuss Northeast rezoning request at Town Hall

County Councilwoman Gretchen Barron will hold an in-person town hall meeting Wednesday, July 7 to discuss a planned development on Hardscrabble Road in Northeast Richland.

Barron, who represents District 7, will advise residents about a rezoning request for 1635 Hardscrabble Road while also addressing concerns and questions. The request seeks to rezone the nearly 100-acre property from rural to residential single-family.

The meeting is set for 6 p.m. at Parklane Adult Activity Center, 7494 Parklane Road, Columbia. Residents in the nearby communities of Lake Elizabeth, Summer Hills, Meadowlake and Jasmine Place are encouraged to attend.

Residents can also attend virtually via:

• the County’s Facebook page: facebook.com/RichlandSC
• a special phone line that will only be active during the meeting: 803-766-5678

In order for Richland County Council to enact a rezoning request, an ordinance amending the official zoning map must pass three readings by majority vote.
