WORD 106.3 reported this morning an announcement will be made today at the former Sam's Club in regards to redeveloping Laurens Road in order to tie in with Verdae.
This is great news - I live about 2 miles from this proposed development - I'd love to see some upscale retail on Laurens - I hate driving to Woodruff. The new 2nd and Charles/Skyzone have really improved the aesthetics on Laurens.
I noticed Marketplace Drive will be realigned to intersect with Henderson Road and extended behind Verdae Village to intersect with Verdae Boulevard and Bonaventure Circle. There would be no crossover across the railroad and Laurel Creek accessing Legacy Park. Is anyone concerned this creates connectivity issues?
As for retail, what would you like to see? I think Laurens Road and Verdae can easily support another supermarket along the lines of Publix and Ingle's.
This is good news. Laurens road can handle traffic. I remember when they did all the widening then shortly afterwards everyone left.
