The Cullman Times · Holly Pond, AL
Nearby: Holly Pond, ALThe town of Holly Pond may soon be looking to have more control over the types of businesses that are allowed to operate within its town limits. Mayor Carla Hart asked the members of the Holly Pond Town Council if they would be open to considering a type of ordinance that would prohibit what she described as “offensive” businesses from obtaining a business license during the council’s meeting on Monday, Nov. 2. Hart said, at the moment, said that she wasn’t aware of any rumors about any individual business looking to open up shop in Holly Pond and that she didn’t want to limit entire industries other than to say she felt that prohibiting “places that might have pictures with nudity and things in their window” would be in the town’s best interest. “I’m not going to name anything in particular because I’m not that prejudiced against things, but I do think there are some things that shouldn’t be around children,” Hart said.
