History
Aycock Corner was first commercially developed between 1927 and 1940 with a small restaurant on the eastern side of the property. In the early 1940s, the site was re-developed as an SOC gasoline service station with a small-scale automobile servicing and repair facility, convenience store, and later a bank. A restaurant area was added to the south of the main building in the 1960s or early 1970s. The facility operated as a gasoline service station until 1978.

Redevelopment Potential
Aycock Corner is located in down town Millen, directly across from the Jenkins County Courthouse. Approximately half of the property is available for redevelopment due to a storm water main located on the other side of the property. During a recent community meeting several ideas for redevelopment were discussed. Parking, greenspace, a sandwich shop, and a small office building were all discussed.
Conceptual site plans and artist renderings were recently completed. See photos to the right or visit City Hall. These plans are drafts and may be changed before construction.
