Locust Grove industrial rezoning approved

The Locust Grove City Council voted at its Oct. 3 regular meeting to approve a request to rezone 156.82 acres from residential-agricultural to light industrial.

The property is adjacent to I-75 and the railroad north of Bethlehem Road, and the applicant intends to develop a 1,845,000-square-foot light industrial warehouse, according to a city staff report.

In other business, a request for rezoning from general commercial to planned development for a 50.16-acre site on Price Drive was tabled until the Nov. 7 meeting. The revised site plan includes 332 apartments, 56 townhomes and commercial space.
