Austell extends moratorium on car lots, repair shops

Councilwoman Valerie Anderson said the three-month extension on the present three-month moratorium will give more time to consider options on how to regulate car lots and paint-and-body repair shops. Courtesy of Austell
A three-month moratorium on Austell car lots and paint-and-body repair shops has received a three-month extension.
That decision was made Monday by the Austell City Council.
Councilwoman Valerie Anderson, chairperson of the Community Development Committee, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the reason is “to regulate them better.”
“A lot of them have cars parked more for storage,” she added.
