Item 8 on the Regular Session City Council Agenda, Tax Use Incentive for commercial development was approved for Hutton Development. The property involved is the old #1 China Restaurant, previous Shoney's Restaurant property between the Kentucky Fried Chicken and Dunham's Sporting Goods on John T. Reid Parkway, U.S. Highway 72. The vote for approval was 4 to 1, Greg Mashburn being the single dissenting vote. Current fast food restaurant owners in Scottsboro had spoke against the project development at a previous city council meeting.
Hutton Development personnel in attendance would not confirm the property will be utilized for a Chick-Fil-A Restaurant; however Hutton representatives did confirm real estate contracts for the 2 acres for the restaurant property and an additional 8 acres are in the process of being sold. The property is currently owned by Garcia Properties. The sale was contingent on the road safety renovation, including a traffic light and extension of the service road, regarding Hwy 72 and County Park Rd. being approved along with the city tax incentive.
There has been considerable rumor and discussion that the property would be utilized as a Chik-Fil-A restaurant, although not confirmed by the developer at this time, Hutton Development representatives did confirm they had recently finished a similar project with tax incentive's in Sylacauga, Alabama. That specific project was a Chick-Fil-A, more info on the Sylacauga Chick-Fil-A : https://www.sylacauganews.com/local/developer-confirms-chick-fil-plans-sylacaugas-new-marble-city-square Hutton Development of Chattanooga, Tennessee has developed several Chick-Fil-A projects.
