If there are that many vacant buildings, you would think they would want more business to move in weather for profit or not. Vacant lots & buildings not only take up the taxpayers money(to take care and maintain them), but but bring in more problems. Why keep a church away? We have freedom of sppech and freedom of religion, which means that even without a building the "church" could meet downtown in a park or on the sidewalk, and have a service!!!! And they are correct in saying that doesn't say much good about Holly Springs using all tis tazpayer money to fight against something that will bring positive changes to the area, unlike a strip club, or liqour store!! #WhatAShame#

It's really sad when you can have liquor stores in that area, but you fight against having a church there. Then people wonder why we have all the problems we have in this country. We really need to get our priorities straight!
