SUMMARY: The Bay Springs leaders are starting a petition to get a new grocery store in the city after seeing a change in tax revenue. Keaundria Milloy has spoken to the mayor about the potential grocery store and the need for it after the long-time corner market closed. Mayor Donald Brown says almost 3.5 million dollars of grocery revenue has left Jasper County, and that it’s impacting everything. The Bay Springs Chamber of Commerce first introduced the petition, which already has over 500 signatures, and Mayor Brown says they will present it to the city once they have enough signatures.

Bay Springs leaders say there’s a need for another grocery store after the long-time Corner Market closed last year.
