The new Family Dollar store
opened its doors November
30. In addition to this new
buriness, Greentown may
experience more growth in the
future. Town Council
Pres id en t , James Harris
informed the members of the
Council at their November
regular meeting that he was
approached by a company out
of Kalamazoo, Michigan that
may want to open a store on
the east side town. He
explained the business would
be similar to a Dollar General
store. Two days ‘ later, he was
contacted by a gentleman from
Sheridan who expressed
interest in part of the “ Reed
property”, a parcel on 2 I3 and
highway 35. This particular
area is annexed residential and
would require rezoning to B1
or 132 for a restaurant and strip
mall, if plans proceed. Harris
said Greentown could see
more proposals for annexation
once the sewer ban with IDEM
is lifted.

consider a request by Designec
