I somehow forgot to post this. A $400,000 - $500,000 construction bid went out for Cook Out last month. Cook Out is replacing the former Golden Corral 3012 Peach Orchard road.

Cook Out was approved in Augusta 2015.

Hopefully the former sushi place that Cook Out was considering replacing will be razed soon enough before the vandals burn it to the ground if Cook Out is no longer interested in it.

Nevermind, I didn't realize the sushi place WAS the Golden Corral before that.

State Senator Herald Jones wants to see an economic development authority set up for South Augusta...
Quote:
The Deans Bridge Road Kroger store is expected to close in June. But Georgia State Senator Harold Jones and other local and state leaders want the grocery to pump the brakes on leaving.

“Not only to talk about saving this particular store, but actually going a little bit further on where we’re going to go from here,” Sen. Jones said.

The District 22 Senator said he’s found a way to save Kroger and south Augusta.

He spoke during a press conference in the parking lot Tuesday, “We’re requesting that the CEO, at least the person that is in Atlanta, come down and visit the community and understand the impact this will have on the community.”

District 125 Georgia State Representative Earnest Smith spoke during the press conference. He wants to sit down with Kroger Corporate officials if they do come to Augusta and ask how business could have been better.

“What is not being done? How can we help to ensure the reality as opposed to where we are now?”

Flanked by south Augusta shoppers as well as state and local leaders, Sen. Jones also shared another plan; the creation of the South Augusta Development Authority.

“Revitalization, economic development specifically for the area of south Augusta, specifically looking at retail because we don’t really have that right now,” he said.

The Deans Bridge Road corridor is one spot that’s lacking retail stores.

Augusta Tax Commissioner Steven Kendrick said the effort to save south Augusta isn’t new.

“For the last decade we have been talking about this issue and talking about what we can do to improve the plight of South Augusta as it relates to development,” he said.

“About two years ago we sent an urging resolution showing our support to the commission for establishing an economic development department for the city,” said District 124 Georgia State Representative Wayne Howard.

Maybe time to start another thread specifically for South Augusta... Instead of lumping them all directly into this one..

The intent was to focus solely on the Peach Orchard/I-520/Windsor Spring area. Only due to the recent growth and future growth potential. South Augusta is the largest area in Richmond County and probably deserve another thread dedicated to the entire area.. Just a thought.

Hopefully the plans for the access change for the Windsor Square shopping center is an indicator of new businesses coming soon.. The Chick Fil A and Krispy Kreme weren't the only planned improvements..
