A new Dollar General will be constructed in Monmouth. At the latest Monmouth City Council meeting, members passed an ordinance granting a variance regarding the number of parking spaces for a new Dollar General Store on West Broadway, explains City Administrator Lew Steinbrecher:
“The building of a new Dollar General Store out on 1105 West Broadway. This is a property on the south side of West Broadway, across from the Casey’s. There are two existing buildings there that will demolished, the old Hennenfent Realty building out there and then another one that housed a beauty salon. The variance was to reduce the number of parking spaces from 60, which is what the zoning code required, down to 35. There was justification presented as to why 35 parking spaces would be sufficient for that location. That was presented to the Council and approved.”
Construction of the new Dollar General on West Broadway is expected to begin this summer.
