A Small Truck Repair Facility Is Coming To Oconee County Because of Caterpillar, Developer Told Planning Commission
Developer says the truck repair owner knows he needs to fit into the business park, which also abuts residential properties.
While no vendors have located in the property adjacent to the Caterpillar Plant on Atlanta Highway on the east side of Bogart, despite the expectation that they would do so, Mike Power told the Planning Commission on Monday night that a four-bay truck repair is coming to his business park because of Caterpillar.
Power’s development, called Mars Hill Business Park, is located on Mars Hill Road across from Malcom Bridge Road.
That puts it south of SR 316 and east of U.S. 78, or diagonally across from the Orkin Tract, from which the Caterpillar plant property was carved in 2012.
The Planning Commission approved the truck repair project unanimously, sending it to the Board of Commissioners, which is scheduled to take action on the rezone request at its June 2 meeting.
