Sumter County Council Tuesday evening passed third reading on several matters during its regular meeting.

City-County Planning Director George McGregor spoke to council members about first reading of a request to rezone just under four acres of land at 4690 Thomas Sumter Highway from General Commercial (GC) and Agricultural Conservation (AC) to Light Industrial-Warehouse (LI-W). The property is within the Military Protection District, and is a vacant and undeveloped piece of property. The applicant wants to open a metal fabrication business, he said. The Planning Commission recommends approval, he said. Councilman Artie Baker asked about what type of material the front of the building will be as it sits within the Highway Corridor Protection District.
