Three Hickory residents went to the Hickory City Council Tuesday to voice concerns over a Dollar General store planned for northwest Hickory and to ask if anything could be done to minimize the impact of the store.
Developers received the go-ahead in December to begin construction on the dollar store near the intersection of 10th Street Boulevard NW and 12th Avenue NW at what was once the site of the Lutheran Home.
The store could be open as soon as this spring.
Chris Simmons, who lives near the site where the store will be located, said the storeâs presence has prompted a backlash in the community.
