FLASH!!!
It looks like this has all come to a screeching halt! The developer has reportedly lost funding due to the current national financial mess. All of the signs are down and only one on the northeast corner has replaced them.
This is what was:
A new shopping center development is planned at the intersection of Fischer Road at GA 34. The Great Escape 12 screen theater, Sam's Club and CVS will anchor the new 1 million square foot project. That's just over 2/3 of the size of Fayette Pavillion.
It looks like Newnan's Bullsboro retail strip has come to Peachtree City's back yard...
The 150+ acre development will feature one million square feet of commercial space, 2 traffic lights with a traffic count of 35,000, zoned C-7 (retail/mixed use) and is expected to be ready for development in Fall 2007.
The major part of the shopping is 192,000 sq ft and is on the site of rare Plants Nursery. It will resemble the Avenue in Peachtree City and is expected to generate a traffic count of 8,200 vehicle trips on week-days and 9,500 on Saturdays.
Several restrictions and conditions have been imposed:
1) No parking in back of any buildings along Lower Fayetteville Road.
2) No restaurants contiguous to Lower Fayetteville Road.
3) Lower Fayetteville Road is to be realigned to match up with Fischer Road.
4) There will be a westgbound turning lane and an eastbound deceleration lane on GA-34.
5) Roadways in the development will be two lanes with a planted center median.
6) There will be six foot wide sidewalks thoroughout all internal roadways.
7) All parking will be aligned with the buildings.
8) Decorative pavers similar to the Avenue will be used.
9) There are to be shaded seating areas throughout the developement.
