Jamestown annexation
For those who needed more explanation on H 688: Jamestown/Satellite Annexations, my colleague E.A. Seagraves has you covered with this story:
The town currently can only have satellite properties that make up no more than 10 percent of the town’s corporate limits. Town manager Kathryn Billings explained that Jamestown Park — separated from the town’s corporate limits by High Point City Lake — takes up the town’s 10 percent allowance.Removing the satellite annexation cap would allow the town to take in future voluntary satellite annexations for areas that have requested water and sewer service.
