Kepley's Barn on hold

While the big news in city government Thursday was the city's proposed 2005-2006 budget (which you can read about here), plans to rebuild a north High Point landmark were also put on hold.

Charlie Johnson and Bob Burleson withdrew their plans for a 29-acre commercial development off Eastchester Drive that would have included a rebuilt Kepley's Barn, a popular reception hall that burned in 2001. They do expect to submit revised plans that include a new version of Kepley's Barn. Read more about it here.

But wait, there's more from Thursday. City Council rejected plans for a 55-house development in northeast Davidson County on the Forsyth border after giving it tentative approval at its Monday meeting. If for no other reason, this is noteworthy because council rarely a decision made on a Monday at its Thursday. Here's why it happened.
