The owners of the Bradford Store wish to proceed with the designation of the building.  They are asking conceptual approval to move the building approximately 150' back from the highway.  There is much evidence that the highway will be widened. 

The owners are planning to rehabilitate the building, and re-open it as a "country store."  The store was once part of a rural commercial complex, described in the Survey and Research Report for the Bradford House and Store.  Foundations and other remains indicate the positions of these other buildings, which included a cotton gin and a blacksmith shop.  The owners are also requesting conceptual approval for in-fill buildings on the site that would be based on the historic rural commercial complex.
