Variance Request for the Possible Relocation of the Dollar General in Columbia
Link to the Variance Requests includes maps of the location.
I don't see any large issue with the requests made. I suspect Alderman Agne will have an issue with a building of this type being at one of the entrances to town.
It should be no surprise to anyone that a business wants to move away from downtown and get closer to Route 3. It should be noted they're not moving into a TIF district and they are developing a piece of land that makes sense for their business model.
Finding a new tenant for their old space should be a main concern as the council continues to find ways to develop downtown. We should however be glad they are staying in Columbia and hope that the new location attracts more sales, thus increasing the revenue they provide to the city in sales tax.
I did not make it to the meeting last night, this material was provided to me from the clerks office yesterday via a FOIA request I placed. To bad info like this couldn't just be placed on the city's website in the first place.
