On Jan. 10, 2017, the BOCC approved the rezoning from AG/(Agricultural) to PDP(NC)/Planned Development Project (Neighborhood Commercial) with deviations for the historic Richloam General Store owned by Eric Burkes.
Burkes, a relative to the original owner and postmaster, is requesting to reopen the old country store which he plans to stock with 1 cent candy and items that were available in the 1930 time period. Burkes explained that the store used to be on a state road until 50 came through and the road was moved north.
Parking will be next to the store.
The rezoning, which was needed to reopen the store was unanimously approved.
The grand opening will be held Feb. 25 8AM - 4PM. The address is 38215 Richloam Clay Sink Rd; Webster, FL 33597.
