La Fayette, GA — Residents of the Noble Neighborhood are encouraged to attend a community meeting on Monday, May 19, at 7:30 p.m. to discuss a proposed industrial development on Glass Road. The meeting will be held in the Fellowship Hall of Center Point Baptist Church, located at 118 Center Point Road in La Fayette.
The meeting aims to provide a platform for residents to express concerns and learn more about the potential impact the project may have on the area’s rural character.
The proposed development has already drawn strong opposition. During the May 1 Walker County Board of Commissioners meeting, residents voiced their disapproval of a zoning change that would reclassify property at 157 Glass Road from agricultural to industrial use. Many fear the change could lead to increased traffic, strain on infrastructure, and disruption to the community’s quiet, suburban atmosphere.
David Boyle, chair of the Noble Neighborhood Community Association, presented a petition signed by local residents urging the Board to reject the rezoning request. He stressed that families have moved to the Noble area in search of a peaceful lifestyle and that further industrialization threatens to erode the very qualities that make the community desirable.
All Noble residents are invited to attend the May 19 meeting and take part in the conversation. For more information, call 706-764-2801.
