Zoning Board Okays Campground For Hawthorn Ridge Site

The Mercer County Zoning Board has okayed rezoning for the former Hawthorn Ridge Golf Course. The plans are for a campground says attorney Robert Noe, who represents Bieri Properties.

The zoning board approval now moves on to the Mercer County Board for final action on May 4. There is opposition to the change. One neighbor doesn’t want the campground in his backyard and takes issue with the amendment of the zoning regulations and also the applications asking for the zoning change. Another neighbor wants a buffer zone between the proposed campground and contiguous properties.
