The Town of Leland held two public hearings: one for the annexation of 1,200 acres into Leland, and the other for the rezoning of the property. The majority were in opposition to the Jackey’s Creek project. Regardless of speakers against the project, Leland Town Council unanimously approved both the annexation and zoning and rezoning requests for Jackey’s Creek development Monday. He argued that by annexing into Leland, the future residents of Jackey’s Creek would pay the town for fire services they receive from the Leland Fire Department. A tree survey has not yet been completed for Jackey’s Creek, but will be required in accordance with the town’s site plan review process.
