Local resident fights Dollar General rezoning on Strasburg Road
Henry's Grocery owner Lisa Salazar opposes the 4.14 acre rezoning request by JMB Investment to allow a 9,100 square foot Dollar General at 1453 Strasburg Road. She argues the store would disrupt the community, harm local business, increase night truck traffic, and undermine local events, while noting opposition signatures collected in nearby shops.
