The Clinton City Council last night heard more concerns from residents about a potential new Dollar General store on the east side of Clinton.

Clinton resident Glenna Rogers offered several concerns residents of the surrounding neighborhoods had. She feels the proceedings of the project have left residents feeling blindsided.

Commissioner Tom Edmunds indicated while residents are welcome to speak at city council meetings, the council is not yet able to take action on the issue. The Planning Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals would have to complete preliminary work before it could be brought before the Council.

Commissioner John Wise commented that the City has annexed the property into the City legally. He stated that he had no knowledge of the land being sold to Dollar General or anyone else.

After making multiple inquiries, Regional Radio has not received any comments from Dollar General regarding a new store in Clinton.
