Cary Village Board Bans Select Home-Based Businesses
In particular, the board approved an ordinance prohibiting firearm sales from homes.
The Cary Village Board approved an ordinance Tuesday banning select home-based businesses, the Northwest Herald is reporting.
The ordinance, approved by a 4 to 1 vote, in particular prohibits the sale of firearms from the home, the Northwest Herald article states.
