Rezoning for Henry County apartment complex denied

The Henry County Board of Commissioners denied a rezoning request for a proposed apartment complex on Jonesboro Road just west of Interstate 75 and the Henry Town Center retail corridor.

A crowd of local residents came out in opposition to the request, which would have resulted in 120 apartment units developed through state low-income housing tax credits. The proposal would also have required a change in the county’s comprehensive land use plan, which was also denied. The site is currently zoned for general commercial use.
