Truck Stop Approved

Last week, the Loudon City planning commission approved the location of the Race Track Truck Stop/Gas Station/Convenience Store. The facility will be located at the I-75 North exit ramp to Hwy. 72. The vote was delayed from April. There's been much discussion as to the traffic entering and exiting onto Hwy. 72.

Loudon Mayor, Jeff Harris, acting as a proxy vote for an absent member of the planning commission, made the motion to approve with with vice mayor/planning member, Tim Dixon making a second. The motion passed with only one NO vote. The matter will still need approval from the Loudon City council.

Note On Application: RaceTrac intends to construct a state of the art gas station and convenience store to serve the motoring public of Loudon as well as interstate travelers on the adjacent I-75 corridor. The development includes 16 passenger vehicle fueling positions, an 8,100 square foot convenience store, 6 truck fueling positions, and 11 truck parking spaces.
