The McDonough City Council voted unanimously at its July 20 regular meeting to approve a special use permit for Haitian Ministry Theophile Church of Christ to utilize a commercially-zoned site at 2220 Commerce Place, one block west of South Zack Hinton Parkway. According to a city staff report, this action was intended to allow the church to relocate and refurbish a modular trailer to be used as a youth worship center.

A public hearing was held on the issue, after being postponed from its original March date due to COVID-19, and no one spoke either for or against the request.
