Three rezoning requests were considered by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its Jan. 5 regular meeting.

Two requests in the 3800 block of North Henry Boulevard in Stockbridge were for commercial zoning, one for a gas station/convenience store and the other for an automotive sales facility.

Both of those were denied by unanimous vote.

A request for single-family residential rezoning regarding 89 acres at 1088 McGarity Road, on the east side of McDonough just west of Airline Road, was approved.

The applicant has proposed a conservation subdivision with 128 residential lots on the site.
