Dollar Store & Untruths on Permits

In January of 2022, our community attempted to stop the build of a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree at Montague and 421. The developers mislead the county, claiming that they were over 5 miles from the other Dollar General off 210.

Despite multiple community complaints that this violated their own policy of not having 2 businesses of the same nature within 5 miles, and this new business would be only 1.4 miles from doorstep to doorstep, they pushed forward and built this store.

Despite having a petition of over 150 residents protesting this, and one commissioner even admitting how dangerous the blind curve is on 210, stating that they almost had hit a pedestrian on it the other day. Sadly, the commissioners voted to push this through with a 4 to 1 vote, as not enough citizens were able to attend the meeting for the vote on this in Hampstead.
