EFFIGHAM â If trucks regularly stop somewhere, does that make it a truckstop?
That question was raised by members of the public at an Effingham City Council meeting on Tuesday, which met to discuss the rezoning petition from QuikTrip, a chain of gas stations and convenience stores. It is proposing a location at Technology Drive and U.S. Route 45 next to the Interstate 57 exit north of Effingham.
Representatives of QuikTrip and several members of the public, all of whom had concerns about the proposed development, spoke to the council.
The City Council will vote on whether to rezone the property for the proposed location at its Jan. 5 meeting. QuikTrip is petitioning to change it from POM, planned office and limited industrial, to B-5, highway commercial district. This rezoning complies with the cityâs comprehensive plan.
