After a marathon seven-hour meeting, the Mebane City Council voted to approve the rezoning permits for Buc-ee's to build a 74,000-square-foot travel plaza in Mebane, North Carolina. The decision comes after months of debate and public comment, with nearly 80 people speaking at the meeting. Buc-ee's executives addressed concerns about environmental impact, traffic, and signage, and stated that the travel plaza is expected to have an operational economic impact of almost $64 million to the city of Mebane and Alamance County. Buc-ee's will also pay for the widening of Trollingwood Hawfields Road and the bridge over Interstates 40/85 as part of the agreement.

Concerns raised include potential strain on infrastructure, air and noise pollution, and impact on local businesses, while supporters believe it will bring revenue to Alamance County. The decision follows an 8-hour meeting where over 70 residents voiced their opinions, with no set timetable for construction or opening.
