Bourbon Town Council Discusses Zoning Change for New Business

The Bourbon Town Council reviewed a proposal of a zoning change recommended by the planning commission to make way for a new Dollar General store on U.S. 331 south of U.S. 30.

Several people were in attendance to hear the discussion, according to Clerk-Treasurer Kimberly Berger. She said that many people were in favor of the zoning change from residential to general business on a parcel in the 1400 block of N. Main Street in order to move the process forward.

The only dissenting comments came from the adjacent property owners who don’t want the business to be next to their property.

After hearing all of the residents and reviewing the documents, the Bourbon Town Council members approved the planning commission’s recommendation to rezone the parcel. A start date on construction has not been determined.
