Demolition and clearing of two home sites between the city of Dawsonville municipal complex and Dawson County Junior High School will soon be underway after a vote by city council last week. In place of the homes, the city is planning a farmers market which will include a 50 foot by 150 foot covered pavilion for vendors to shelter their goods, as well as 34 parking spaces, a picnic and playground area and a restroom. Three companies submitted bids for demolition and clearing of the two adjacent properties at 124 Allen Street and 82 Allen Street, which sit on 1.75 acres.
