Neighbors work to keep Goochland man hauling By Roslyn Ryan Editor
Hazel Fleming’s neighbors think the world of him — and they aren’t afraid to say so. This was made perfectly clear on the evening of March 7, as speaker after speaker approached the podium during that evening’s Goochland County Planning Commission meeting. They had come that night to ask the commissioners to vote in favor of a conditional use permit (CUP) that would allow Fleming to continue operating the hauling business he has for the past 30 years from his property on 1701 Manakin Rd. “You could not ask for a better neighbor,” said Orlando Duke, who described Fleming as unfailingly considerate and respectful of those living near his property. Another neighbor described Fleming as one the hardest working men she had ever known, and said he never failed to go out of his way to help someone in need.
