Thank you for sharing!

A group of McDuffie County residents “the residents” sued the Board of Commissioners of McDuffie County “the Board of Commissioners”, the McDuffie County Development Authority “the Authority”, and the City of Thomson, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief relating to a change in zoning classification. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants, and the residents appeal. For reasons that follow, we affirm.

Summary judgment is appropriate where the evidence of record “shows that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.”1 We review a grant of summary judgment de novo, construing the evidence and all reasonable inferences drawn from that evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmovant.2
