by Kyra Rogers A proposed development in Hixson hit a dead end Tuesday night in a 5-3 city council vote. Scenic Land Company had plans to build a large commercial development on Highway 153, near Boyscout Road. For months, the company's owner tried to push forward while a group against the plans, Don't Chop the Hilltop, pushed back. Tuesday, emotions ran high as city council gave the final call. Ellie Wallis is still in shock. Im on cloud nine. I mean this is a fantastic thing that the city council has denied this. Others like Jim McKenzie and his wife Katie Lonas are left wondering why. They thought the added shops and other businesses would have made a great addition to the area. We have a lot more [options] than we did once upon a time 10, 20, 30 years ago. But theres still gain to be had for the community.
