The Roanoke Rapids Planning and Development Department has received some comments back from a site plan review on plans submitted for a proposed Dollar General at Roanoke Avenue and Eighth Street.
Despite drawing criticism from residents and some businesses in the immediate area, a Dollar General store proposed for the corner of Roanoke Avenue and Eighth Street does not have to gain a recommendation for approval from the planning board or an OK from city council to be built.
Halifax town and other officials celebrated the opening of Dollar General this afternoon.
The Dollar General store on Bolling Road was robbed for the second time in just less than two weeks.
