Board Recommends Denial of Zoning Change for Store

(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Regional Planning Commission is recommending that a zoning change to allow for the construction of a new Dollar General Store at Troy be denied.

The Board cited safety concerns with the proposed location in making the recommendation last week, with the County Commission to make a final decision at their July 3rd meeting.

The 75-hundred square foot store is being proposed at the northeast corner of the intersection of U.S. 36 Highway and Mesquito Creek Road.

Several Troy residents met with the County Commission Monday to voice their support for the zoning change.

Tom Gronniger said he feels the intersection would actually be safer with the addition of the store because it would be lit up and attention would be drawn to the building. He asked the Commission to be pro-growth and pro-economic development.

Alice Clary, a former driver for the county public transportation service, says she sees the need for such a store for the senior population that may not have the ability to go to St. Joseph but could still shop independently locally.
