They lost a convenient location to shop for basic household goods and groceries. Some residents who couldn't drive but could walk would frequent the store. In August of 2014, the City of Lawrenceburg issued a press release stating that a developer planned to open a new Dollar General store at the lot formerly occupied by the Tate Street trailer park, next door to the Lawrenceburg Fire Department. However, the lot has remained untouched by any signs of construction since then. But dirt could start moving soon. On Monday, city marketing director Kelly Will announced that the city will host a groundbreaking event for construction of the Dollar General on Tate Street. The informal groundbreaking is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28 at 1:00 p.m. A timeline of a possible opening of the new store could be disclosed at the groundbreaking when city officials expect to provide more information. A new Dollar General opened in Milan this past March.
