Smithfield Council Approves Permits For Two New BusinessesSMITHFIELD — The Smithfield Town Council approved special use permits for two new businesses along North Brightleaf Boulevard during a recent meeting. The 1,200-square-foot retail space is located in a B-3 (Highway Entrance Business) district, surrounded by a mix of retail and personal service businesses. The council also approved a special use permit for Aruza Pest Control Inc., which will operate an exterminating service at 1338-A N. Brightleaf Blvd. Staff noted that only small quantities of licensed insecticides will be stored on site, posing minimal risk to neighboring properties. Both approvals were granted following public hearings, with no opposition to either business from the council or public.
