C-T districts are intended to promote and enhance the diversified uses compatible with and necessary for the maintenance and viability of town centers and rural communities. In combination with residential and public uses, these groupings of stores provide daily and weekly convenience shopping and services for the surrounding area. The C-T districts also provide for social and cultural headquarters for the county subareas with schools, fraternal organizations, churches, etc.
