The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its Oct. 1 regular meeting to approve a general commercial rezoning for a two-acre tract at 100 Mount Carmel Road, east of I-75, for a shopping center.

The site is just south of the intersection of Mount Carmel Road and Jonesboro Road and is to be developed in conjunction with a separate tract at that corner which was already zoned commercial, according to a county staff report. The county’s Zoning Advisory Board recommended approval in July with the condition that the development meet the intent of the Henry County Highway Corridor Overlay District.
