Residents in the area of the new Dollar General in Clinton have been before the Clinton City Council for months now disgruntled over the happenings at the new store on the community's northeast side.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Clinton City Administrator Taylor Baxter he has heard personally from residents in that area of the community and is working with those residents to address the concerns they have.

According to Baxter, he has a good working relationship with leadership at the new Dollar General store and plans to discuss the local residents' concerns. He indicates everyone is going to have to get along because Dollar General isn't going anywhere but also Dollar General is coming into the space of those residents on that side of the community.

For Baxter, the dynamic of social media isn't new to him in situations like this where a lot of the conversation happens online instead of with the people 'in the know'. He encourages residents to voice their concerns to the City Council or contact him rather than on social media because that is not where change is going to happen.

Baxter believes keeping up with some of the conversations on the Facebook pages where community members are has helped him in his learning curve of the community. Additionally, he continues to get to know the community and get acclimated to his role as administrator.
