Demolition began this week to clear property for the future site of a new Mach One gas station.  Included in the demolition has been The Shack restaurant, the former Lighthouse Thrift Store, and several homes.  Clinton City Administrator, Tim Followell, expects demo and cleanup to move quickly.

 

Even though the demolition process is moving quickly, don't expect any construction to begin on the site in the near future.  According to Followell, the company building the new gas station has not yet appeared before the City Planning Commission.

 

 

Despite the lack of finalized blueprints being filed with the city, Followell has been in contact with the developers.  He says that in addition to a gas station, the site is expected to include a car wash and an undetermined attached business.

 

Developers hope to have the new Mach One facility open in Clinton by the end of the year.
