A short public hearing took place during the Washington County Commissioners meeting on Monday morning as they considered whether or not to close County Road 2500 west of Philson Farms Road.

The floor opened at 9:30 a.m., but no comment was made during the hearing. The hearing was then closed before the Washington County Commissioners weighed the item themselves.

For clarity, District One Commissioner Mitch Antle said they would close County Road 2500 and limit public access as a public safety endeavor. However, the Washington County Commissioners do not have the right to lose or abandon the right of way in the area. Commissioner Antle added that if the landowners come back in and remove the gate, the Commissioners would still be obligated to maintain that point.

The Commissioners approved the closure of County Road 2500 west of Philson Farms Road.

Two weeks ago, the Commissioners approved a public notice so those with objections or opinions would know that the hearing would take place on Monday, March 2nd.
