Yay! This will totally help with taxes in the county! Just watch you naysayers! So many come to shop the outlet mall, most tax money going to Jackson County, on Sundays and then the disappointment when they can't have a Sunday beer at local restaurants with their meal. I have personally seen people leave because of this!
It will bring more money to Banks County, getting A portion of our fair share, since we also supply the roads for the shopping done in Jackson County. A good thing indeed and no longer leaves our county behind, in the early 20th century. Maybe we can additionally look for some additional choices for food. What we have now is not at all suffcient. Now if we could only get an actual grocery store in the county...Publix, Kroger, Trader Joe's?! Please!

Oh the chicken farmers and bible thumpers are going to raise Cain. They didn't get their way by kicking and screaming.

Either the citizens are in shock, or they have come to the majority's side. I can't believe there are no comments about this! I have checked this page every since it happened for the upheaval and there is none. Silence before the storm?

When do they start serving? I was over there this summer golfing and had to go to a Mexican Restaurant in downtown Commerce to get at drink after golf on Sunday. Not a big deal, but it will be really nice, since most of the good restaurants are in Banks.
