The Mt. Airy town council will revisit two ordinances during its regular meeting on Monday, April 7.

The first ordinance to be considered is for no through trucks, primarily in subdivisions. The council has been working on the new ordinance for the last few months to prevent trucks six wheels or more from parking overnight on public right of ways as well as in subdivisions. The most recent discussion resulted in the council looking at how the ordinance would affect property owners, especially in subdivisions, that own large trucks and park in their driveways.

The second ordinance the council will discuss is for abandoned vehicles. The council will revisit its current ordinance and consider an amendment. Recently, Habersham County inadvertently omitted its abandoned vehicle ordinance from its code of ordinances. When reintroduced, that ordinance met opposition from several citizens on social media.

In other business, the Habersham County Libraries has requested support from the town of Mt. Airy for their operations throughout the county. The council will consider their request during its meeting.

The Mt. Airy Town Council will hold its regular meeting on Monday, April 7 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Mt. Airy Town Hall at 1231 Dicks Hill Parkway in Mt. Airy.
