Another hurdle cleared in the effort to make a new Warner Robins Law Enforcement Center a reality. Monday the city’s Redevelopment Agency approved a new lease agreement with Thrifty Car Rental.

The car business will be relocated to South First Street; the arrangement is expected to be signed by all involved by the end of the week. Warner Robins City Council voted last month to loan the RDA $175,000 as long as Thrifty’s monthly rent is used to pay the city back.

If you happened to see a long line at a new business in Centerville yesterday, there was a good reason for it. Hundreds of people lined the sidewalk and parking lot outside the new Buffalo Wild Wings in Centerville to win a year’s supply of the chicken favorite. It was all part of the store’s grand opening.
