The town council of West Union approved two annexations and a site plan to add 400 new homes to the community.

The expansion introduces significant pressure on existing infrastructure and services. Concerns were raised regarding the town's emergency response capabilities and the Walhalla water supply, which has seen 20 boil advisories in eight months. The influx of new residents is expected to provide a larger tax base for the town.
