White County commissioners to address Dollar General store zoning issue

The White County Board of Commissioners will hold a work session and called meeting on Monday, April 29, at 4:30 p.m. During the meeting, the commission board is expected to consider a land use application filed by SW West Cleveland LLC, on behalf of Dennis Brown, to redistrict property located at 0 Ed Lewis Road west of Cleveland from R-1, Residential Single Family District to C-1, Community Commercial District.

Developers want to build a Dollar General Store on this property. The plan recently faced heavy opposition from nearby residents, and the White County Planning Commission voted 5-1 to deny the zoning change last month that would have allowed the store to be built.

The board of commissioners has the final say on the issue. That should come during Monday’s meeting which will be held at the county administration building on the Helen Highway north of Cleveland.
