YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD’S BEEN REZONED OR HADN’T YOU HEARD? When local governments make decisions they are required to publish a newspaper notice to let you know. But that could change. Local governmental entities across the state want to bury their public notices on little seen, rarely visited government websites. What you don’t know will affect you personally!
.
If it is not in the newspaper, you won’t know about it.
