Most oppose Dollar General at public hearing

The long-anticipated public hearing on the proposed Dollar General in Egg Harbor saw over two hours of public comments on Thursday night. Initially planned for last November, the hearing was delayed and done virtually with just Town of Egg Harbor supervisors present at the town hall.  After Dollar General representatives gave their presentation, Egg Harbor residents were allowed to ask questions and make comments.  Dollar General was denied access in Sister Bay over a year ago and is now proposing a site at Highway 42 and Hillside Road. The proposed 9,100 square-foot building would be placed on a 2.5-acre lot.  Supervisor Steve Schopf says most people voicing their opinion were opposed to the development.  He shares the primary concern raised by residents on Thursday evening.

 

 

Schopf added that those in opposition also did not like an outside business entering the area and competing with local retailers.  The plan commission will meet on March 8 to review the architectural design before it goes in front of the Town of Egg Harbor Board on March 15.
