The Lawrence County Board Wednesday took a step toward more economic development for the county as they approved the sale of a close to 4.5 acre subdivision plat parcel of land in the Lawrenceville Industrial Park east of the city. The site is to be purchased by Nelson Family Enterprises LLC as a location for a truck shipping location for the company products. The City Council signed off on the sale last week. It is anticipated that the move could result in some new jobs. Also approved were the reappointments of Reid Thacker to the Eagle Branch Drainage District, Greg McClure to the England Pond Drainage District and John Phipps to the Big Slough Drainage District. All are 3 year terms.
