MCDONOUGH — In her quarterly discussions with mayors throughout the county, Henry County Board of Commissioners Chair Carlotta Harrell said one of frequent topics that came up from constituents was what can be done to get certain businesses and restaurants to locate in Henry County.
From those discussions, a plan was developed to try and attract high-end businesses and restaurants into Henry County.
