Why a proposed Dollar Tree is causing controversy for residents in Birmingham. Dollar Tree has to make fixes to the building before moving to the next phase of the process. Keep Watching BIRMINGHAM, Mich. - The city of Birmingham's design review board conditionally approved the construction of a new Dollar Tree store along Woodward Avenue. The store, which would take over the space on Woodward and E. Lincoln that CVS vacated last year, has sparked controversy among some residents in the ritzy suburb. A Change.org petition claims the Virginia-based dollar store "threatens to disrupt this balance and could have far-reaching implications for the safety and well-being of our residents." Adding "the presence of a dollar tree in such close proximity (to schools) raises concerns due to the well-documented correlation between dollar stores and increased crime rates." The petition does not cite any statistics, and there were no public comments made during Wednesday (June 3) night's meeting. And while there was some confusion over what was happening with the ordinance, the vote went off without a hitch. Next up for Dollar Tree, they have to make the fixes to the building before moving to the next phase of the process. There is no timetable for when that vote will be.
