Two rezoning requests were approved by the McDonough City Council at its May 16 regular meeting.

A piece of property at 94 Macon Street, one block south of the square, was rezoned on behalf of the Copeland House from multi-family residential to office-institutional to allow businesses to rent rooms as office space.

A six-acre site on Hwy. 20/81 at Willow Lane just east of I-75 was rezoned on behalf of the Hampton Road Market from central commercial to highway commercial with conditions.

A public hearing preceded each vote, with no one speaking in favor and one person in opposition of the Hampton Road project.
