The Pike Road Town Council unanimously voted down a proposal for a new gas station Monday night.
“People want to have a place and live in a place where their voices are heard,” Pike Road Mayor Gordon Stone said. “That doesn’t always mean that the decisions that are made are going to be agreeable to every voice in the room, but I think what they were very excited about was that there was a participation process that allowed them to communicate with those making the decision, and those making the decision to learn and grow as they went forward.
The gas station would have gone on the McFadden property across from Town Hall. Officials say the land in question may be developed by someone else, but it would still need council approval.
