New businesses bound for NE Georgia

Seneca is about to welcome a Hampton Inn and Suites. You can add Lavonia, Georgia to the list of locations to which the hotel chain is expanding. WLHR Lake Hartwell Radio reports developers break ground next month for an 82-room Hampton—across from the Holiday Inn Express at the 173 exit on SR 17. Gary Fesperson, the Lavonia city manager, also announced a Dairy Queen restaurant will replace a Wendy’s at SR 17 and I-85.
