Maysville to vote on Dollar General
BY CHRIS BRIDGES
The Maysville City Council could decide at its upcoming April 7 meeting on a request from Dollar General to build a store on the Jackson County side of the city.
The Maysville Planning Commission voted 2-1 earlier this month to approve Dollar General’s plans for a store off Hwy. 98 and Newton Drive across from the Golden Pantry. The area is currently a vacant lot.
The Maysville City Council was going to vote on the matter at its regular meeting earlier this month, but city attorney Gary Freeman said it first had to be presented to them by the city’s newly established planning and zoning commission.
Freeman also advised city officials that it always is best to abide by the planning and zoning rules, otherwise, everyone making a request would have to be granted a variance.
The issue is expected to be discussed at the regular April 7 council meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. in the city library.
