Our voices matter.
We want to be clear and consistent about what we are asking for.
Our position is reasonable, fair, and rooted in good stewardship of our community, our families, our homes, our health, and our land.
No rezoning should be approved unless:
BWXT publicly and in writing (including renderings) discloses what they intend to build and operate,
A full environmental impact study is completed, released, and explained to residents, and
Only the minimum land required for the disclosed plan is rezoned to M2 — not the entire property, and especially not the 40 acres of flood plain, which should not be rezoned under any circumstance.
There are more than 650 homes within one mile of the proposed rezoning site — families, children, elderly neighbors, and long-established households. Any high-impact industrial zoning on this land has the potential to directly affect real people and real lives, not just boundary lines on a map.
This is not just a
land-use question.
It is a community health and quality-of-life question.
We are not opposing business or economic growth.
We are simply asking for transparency and responsible planning before decisions are made that could affect:
Our Families and community health
Our water and watershed
Long-term environmental safety
Our roads and school traffic
Our homes and property values
Current Situation
Right now, BWXT is requesting a zoning change without disclosing the intended use of the property. Rezoning land to M2 without knowing its purpose is not good governance — especially near homes, schools, farms, and wells.
The County Commission will be announcing a new meeting date and location soon.
When that happens, we will need to show up again — together, and in strength.
What can you do?
