In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The petition specifically addresses the annexation of two adjacent parcels of land, encompassing a total of 4.37 acres. These properties are situated between the south side of High Street and the north side of River Road within the Shepherdstown Magisterial District. Crucially, the land in question is contiguous with the existing municipal boundary of Shepherdstown, a key requirement for annexation. Residents interested in the details of this proposal are encouraged to seek out more information and examine the complete petition along with its supporting documents, which are made available for review. For those who wish to engage directly with the petition’s contents, physical copies can be obtained by contacting Town Hall. Inquiries can be made via telephone at 304-876-2312 or by sending an email to aboyd@shepherdstown.gov. The town is also accepting written comments, which can be submitted through postal mail to Town Hall, located at P.O. Box 248, Shepherdstown, WV 25443, or by delivering them in person to the Town Hall at 104 North King Street. All individuals with an interest in the matter are welcomed and encouraged to attend the public hearing to express their views.
