The Henry County Zoning Advisory Board voted at its May 28 regular meeting to recommend approval of a rezoning request for a 1.7-acre site on Rock Quarry Road to allow an assisted living and hospice care facility.

The property was zoned C-2 (general commercial) in 1996 and received conditional use approval in 2006 for a care home, but the conditional use expired when that business left the facility.

The current building, which has been vacant, was constructed for this purpose and the applicant has proposed reopening and operating a hospice and assisted living service without making any changes to the structure.
