An update on what’s happening in and around town

The new DG Market is open for business in Stockbridge. Located on W. Main St., between the UHaul dealer and Ace Hardware, the store opened in early December. Although DG Market is affiliated with Dollar General, Stockbridge Community News knows of no plans to close the existing Dollar General, which is on M-52 across from McDonald’s.

Progress is moving along on construction of the new Tractor Supply Co. in Stockbridge (on M-52, also across from McDonald’s). A conversation with the builder on April 16 confirmed that store “fixturing” should begin in mid-May, signs should be up soon, and, if all goes well, the store could be opened by mid-June.

Although it’s not right around the block, many residents in our area have found themselves impacted by the North Territorial road closure at Dexter Town Hall Road. Washtenaw County has been posting regular updates on the Road Commission’s progress. These can be found at www.wcroads.org/wcrc-project/n-territoria-rd-dexter-townhall-rd-safety-improvements/. In addition, a phone call to the project manager for this project has confirmed that, weather permitting, the road should be re-opened no later than the end of May, and possibly earlier.

In Stockbridge, a new store opens and another is coming, and in Washtenaw County, North Territorial is still closed at Dexter Town Hall Rd.
