Small towns have been the historic, cultural, and commercial hubs for rural Lewis County. As such, public infrastructure including schools, fire, and often water systems are in place. The purpose of the Mixed Use/Commercial District is to provide land areas within the small towns for the siting of commercial uses which serve the surrounding community with a broad range of retail goods and services. Property within this district may also serve to meet the residential needs of the community in accordance with the capability of local facilities. The Mixed Use/Commercial Districts are designed to assure infilling consistent with surrounding uses and the existing public facilities and character of the area.
