Loris Planning News Today

A months-long firefight continued at Monday’s Loris City Council meeting, as a pair of Loris Fire Department supporters defended firefighters against claims by a couple who lost a home in a Dec. 14 blaze. Kenya Wright, the daughter of Loris Assistant Fire Chief Kent Wright, said the criticism of the department by Wendell and Wende Boyd of Conway is unwarranted.

City Council, at a special meeting on Monday, Nov. 13, voted 6-0 to appoint William Youmann and William Wagner to fill vacancies on the board, which hears appeals of zoning decisions made by the Loris Planning Commission. That leaves one vacancy on the five-member board, but enables it to function with a quorum of three members.
