Locust Grove industrial site plans approved

The Locust Grove City Council voted at its Aug. 3 regular meeting to approve architectural plans submitted by Atlas Collaborative Architects for “Project Red,” a massive industrial warehousing distribution building planned at 381 and 343 Davis Lake Road.

The building permit process includes a requirement that the mayor and council, acting as the city’s architectural review board, review the proposal and approve it. According to city staff, the general concept is to construct a single-story rectangular building whose main entrance and vehicle access would face Colvin Drive and Davis Lake Road.
