In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the proposed Dollar General store and its potential impact on the local community. Key topics included neighborhood concerns about privacy, traffic, and water supply.

Representatives from Dollar General expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue regarding privacy issues, particularly the installation of a privacy fence. Community members raised concerns about litter and the lack of a designated point of contact for operational issues at the store.

Traffic safety emerged as a significant concern, with residents highlighting the 55 mph speed limit near the proposed site and the presence of a passing zone. The need for discussions with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) was emphasized, particularly regarding the possibility of extending the speed limit and addressing the passing zone.

Water supply issues were also a focal point of the meeting. It was revealed that a community water supply line exists approximately 300 feet from the site, while the current design for the store includes a well. Residents expressed apprehension about the potential impact of a new well on existing wells and the community's water pressure. The possibility of connecting to the existing water line was suggested as a solution that could benefit the community.

Additionally, the meeting touched on the necessity for approvals related to septic systems and detention ponds, which are required for construction but fall outside the zoning process.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the importance of collaboration between Dollar General, local residents, and relevant authorities to address these concerns before moving forward with the store's development.
