Large Warehouse Planned for Longview

LONGVIEW – Dollar General building a warehouse in Longview is a step closer to reality today. Longview’s Zoning Board of Adjustments has approved zoning variance requests for a 110-acre site at the Longview North Business Park. DG Distribution of Texas wants to build a nearly 1 million-square-foot distribution center at the location. DG Distribution of Texas is a division of Dollar General Corp. in Tennessee. The Longview News Journal reports Longview is lone finalist for Dollar General’s 17th warehouse. A finalized agreement between the company and the city of Longview remains tentative pending legal matters, according to the Longview Economic Development Corporation. A city official told the paper he believes the deal can be “wrapped up” before the end of the year.
