Why does Henry County want to completely destroy any vantage of the rural life here? Many families moved here from the hustle and bustle and wanted a quieter place to live. Destroying the country atmosphere where crops grow, cows graze and chickens crow is a crime against all that is wonderful about country life.
Bringing a Dollar General Store to Old Jackson Road and Leguin Mill Road will only destroy further more and more of that ideal of life. Why continue to strip away at the quiet life for our children. We moved here to raise a family in a quiet setting with fresh air and little noise. Bringing commercial properties to the country is a really stupid idea.
For some strange reason the county leaders are condoning the rape of Henry County by commercial entities. What does this say about those leaders? There are only small pockets of the rural life left in Henry County and more is being encroached upon in the dealings of the backrooms of Atlanta. We didn’t need a Family Dollar on Walt Stephens Road in Stockbridge and we surely don’t need this Dollar General on Old Jackson Road. The farmer made this county what it became and we are letting those in power and in business sweep them under the carpet. They are treated like second class citizens to these people. Just remember if this is allowed by the Zoning Advisory Board and the Board of Commissioners then you know what to do at the polls next time.

It will happen in time because, too often wherever someone comes from, they want to recreate whatever they left, where they are now, even if coming here was to escape a bad situation.
