Mayor and Council Reports

Mayor Hinkle discussed a conversation he had with the owner of the Loganville Chick-fil-A. Corporate Chick-fil-A would like to expand to Grayson, but is unsure of whether it would take business away from the Loganville franchise. As a test, they want to set up a kiosk in the parking lot of Bruster's Ice Cream and sell their products from there. Current zoning ordinances do permit that, but the mayor is concerned about whether it would set a precedent for other franchises.
