Grab your popcorn, Dawson 400 Cinemas will reopen May 14
Dawson 400 Cinemas off Ga. 400 in Dawson County is set to reopen on May 14, according to a release by Regal Cinemas.
“Select theaters are now open and showing larger-than-life movies like Godzilla vs. Kong and Mortal Kombat,” the release said. “Additional theaters will be opening in the weeks to follow. We are excited to open our doors and begin sharing our love of movies with our fans.”
The Dawsonville location of the nationwide movie theater chain closed in early 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and reopened briefly in late August before closing again in early October. Now, the Dawson theater is one of many Regal Cinema locations that will be part of a staggered reopening.
Dawson County BOC approves rezonings for gun range, residential developments
At their voting session on Thursday night, the Dawson County Board of Commissioners approved rezoning requests for two proposed developments and allowed the owners of Dawsonville Gun and Pawn to go forward with plans for an indoor shooting range facility.
The development rezonings approved by the board include a 194-lot residential subdivision, planned to be built at the intersection of Dawson Forest and Blacks Mill roads, and a 120-unit mixed-use residential/commercial development proposed to be built near Lumpkin Campground Road and Hwy. 53.
Commissioners also approved a 90-day moratorium on new rezoning requests in multiple different zoning categories, so that the county can conduct a study on efficiency and costs associated with different zoning categories.
