RICHLAND COUNTY (WACH) -- Business owners and developers worried about the impact a new Verizon call center will have on their community met again Tuesday.

Folks who live in the Woodcreek Farms Subdivision are worried the call center will bring more traffic and noise into the area.

Columbia Councilwoman Leona Plaugh heads the task force looking into the matter. 

She says its important that everyone is clear on what exactly will be zoned and annexed and what it means as the group moves forward.

"What we're looking at is one that might be easier for everybody to understand, one set of public hearings going through where all the parcels that are not in the city would come in at one time.  So there won't be a constant noticing of various smaller annexations, it will be one," Plaugh says.

The task force will meet again Tuesday, September 14th.
