We hear your concerns about the proposed Dollar General in uptown Whiteville at the corner of Washington and Lee Street. The property is zoned B3, this is a Use By Right circumstance – Highway Serving Business, which allows commercial uses. When a property is commercially zoned, the city does not have authority over what the owner chooses to develop, as long as it follows zoning rules. While we cannot make decisions on privately-owned properties that fall within the B3 guidelines, we remain committed to responsible growth and keeping Whiteville vibrant and welcoming. #CityOfWhiteville
