A copy of the proposed Ordinance amendment (map revision) and a listing of the individual tax map parcel numbers of the affected properties are available for review and inspection during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.) at the Town of Tazewell Municipal Building, as referenced hereinabove.
