HCPC OKs agri-entertainment, office/retail complex

GAINESVILLE - The Hall County Planning Commission has approved separate applications dealing with plans for an agri-entertainment venture and an office/retail complex.<br /> <br /> The entertainment venue is planned on 15 acres near the intersection of Pillsbury Road and Three Bridges Road. <br /> <br /> The planning board did add a stipulation that "the operation of outside amplification shall only be permitted with wedding events. Open air/outside concerts are prohibited." This condition was added because the venue does not have any structures and all events will be conducted outdoors, according to Planning Director Srikanth Yamala.<br /> <br /> The office/retail development site is ten acres at the Old Winder Highway and Howington Road intersection.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Don Smallwood has been re-elected chairman of the planning commission and Chris Braswell will serve another term as vice-chairman.
