Go ahead approved for new Greenbackville townhouses

 (Eastern Shore Post excerpt)

The Accomack County Board of Supervisors Wednesday approved rezoning and a conditional use permit for a proposed mixed-use development with 140 townhouses, planned to be rentals, on property surrounded on three sides by the Captains Cove community. The two 8-1 votes, with Supervisor Paul Muhly voting no, came after public hearings in which 13 Captains Cove residents spoke against the development, citing concerns about the developer’s plan to use Captains Cove’s private road, Captains Corridor, to access the new development and to use Captains Cove’s water and sewer utilities to serve it, among other concerns.

(CNN) -- Ashley Judd and her family wanted the world to hear from them how Naomi Judd died.

The younger Judd appeared in an interview with Diane Sawyer, which aired on Thursday on "Good Morning America." She said her family had agreed that she share the cause of death of her mother.
