The Rappahannock News covered a recent zoning change that will rezone some properties from rural residential to village residential. The effect of the rezoning will be to allow the Town Council to include each of the rezoned properties in a current sewer project.

"Properties owned by the Inn at Little Washington, the Child Care and Learning Center, and J&B of Virginia (Jimmy DeBergh) were approved for re-zoning by the Town Council pending certain proffers from two of the property owners. The proffers are agreements not to develop the property any more than is allowed by current zoning.
