Council wants more time to review depot bid

Saying they need more time to review the proposal, members of the Dalton (Ga.) City Council voted 4-0 Monday night to table a $300,000 bid for the Civil War railroad depot at 110 Depot St. "We only recently received the proposal and have been having some discussions," said City Council member Denise Wood. "We need to do some more due diligence, ask some more questions. We need a few more details about what Barrett Properties wants to do there." According to the company's proposal, the renovated depot would house two distinct businesses, a restaurant in the northern section and a bar in the southern section. The projected opening would be in December 2020. • Article
