Removal of decades-old restrictive covenants assigned to property in Centreville could spur economic growth in the county seat.
Zoning administrator Doug Kuhlman told county commissioners at their executive committee meeting last week the covenants were put in place by a committee that no longer exists.
At their meeting Tuesday, commissioners approved an ordinance that removes the covenants.
Kuhlman said the property lies within Centreville’s industrial park, a 120-acre piece of land south of Main Street on the east side of town.
The impetus for the change stems from two potential tenants interested in developing at the industrial park property, Kuhlman said.
