A rezoning request for a borrow pit at the intersection of Brigdon Road and Islands Highway, which drew much opposition from neighbors, has been approved by the Liberty County Board of Commissioners.Tuesday’s approval came with a condition: that the Liberty County Development Authority write a letter to Claude Dryden stating that it would cooperate with him to address drainage issues. Dryden, owner of Dryden Enterprises, applied to rezone the nearly 6 acres from single-family residential to agricultural district for the pit. The dirt from the pit will be for Dryden’s projects.There was strong opposition, particularly from neighbors who cited drainage as a major concern.
