Fort Valley Resident Upset About New Dollar General Market

FORT VALLEY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The former Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Fort Valley has been demolished. Now, just buildings away, workers are tearing down the old BB&T bank.

A Dollar General Market will replace the bank. The store will be twice the size of the old bank and unlike a typical Dollar General, this store will also carry dairy and produce. But Jo Ann Dankel is not happy about the changes. She feels elected officials are leaving the historic feel of the community in the past.
