During the May 6 City of Hinesville Council meeting, Mayor and Council unanimously approved a new ordinance regarding flea market operations. Prior to the decision, the City of Hinesville did not have an ordinance in place regulating flea markets. After several local business owners came forward and expressed interest in hosting these types of events within the city limits, the City sought to amend its Code of Ordinances to include language and provisions for safely and responsibly operating a flea market in Hinesville.
