Dollar General plans to build in Valley Falls

Plans are in the works for a Dollar General store to be located at Valley Falls.

A hearing before the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals is set for Feb. 2 for the purpose of rezoning a piece of land from industrial to commercial on the south edge of town next to Valley Ag.

The company planning to build the store has an option on land just to the west of the Valley Ag building and is working with the Kansas Department of Transportation to get access off K-4 highway.

After matters go through the Appeals Board, a site development plan will need to be approved by the city Planning and Zoning Board.
