The City Council will also consider a Municipal Development funding request from High Point Asset Management, LLC for a proposed Family Dollar going into the old Big G Grocery location at 800 Early Boulevard.  “The developer will be here in Early on Monday for our Council meeting and there are some items on our agenda we’ll be discussing with that.  We hope to have that one a little closer to having final plans and issuing permits within the next four to six weeks,” Aaron said.
