McDONOUGH – After disapproval from nearby residents, the Henry County Board of Commissioners said “no” on Tuesday to the construction of a proposed small-box discount store.
The discount store would have been located on 1.15 acres of land at 1018 Hampton-Locust Grove Road, at the road’s intersection with Rocky Creek Road.
