Locust Grove council approves building plans

Architectural plans for a new Chick-fil-A restaurant now in development were unanimously approved by the Locust Grove City Council at its Sept. 7 regular meeting. The new store will be located at 1005 Bandy Parkway, just west of I-75 and a quarter-mile north of Strong Rock Christian School. It is being designed with a double drive-through as all new Chick-fil-A stores are now being done.

Also approved unanimously were architectural plans for a warehouse-distribution building on Colvin Drive that is expected to total 677,967 square feet. The single-story structure will include truck docks, trailer storage and employee parking. Information: locustgrove-ga.gov.
