Clemmons Village Council approved a rezoning request and site plan for Peace Haven Village, a retail center with 85,938 total square feet locating at the southwest corner of Lewisville Clemmons Road and South Peace Haven Road.
The retail center is projected to be anchored by a 49,098 square feet Publix supermarket with a pharmacy drive thru. Publix has not officially announced the store yet.
Is food optional for you? I love grocery stores. I spent a lot of years in cities where getting to a proper grocery store was less than convenient, so a well-appointed grocery store feels like a luxury to me. And if it's going to be more food, I'll take a grocery store over fast food or something like that any day of the week. Cooking at home is almost always cheaper and healthier than eating out. (plus I like Publix, even if I have become a Lowe's Foods convert.)
Supermarket participants across Forsyth County have changed over 20 years. Bi-Lo, Kroger, and Winn-Dixie have departed. Food Lion, Harris Teeter, and Lowe's Foods have remained. Publix and Walmart Neighborhood Market have arrived. I do not see that as more food, but as stronger supermarket options.
Haha, yes I suppose we all need food. My lament is really more about losing wooded areas so we can have more concrete buildings and parking lots. Given that we already have five large grocery stores in Clemmons, I would much prefer to see the trees remain. I know it's a lost cause, though. Developers gonna develop.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I, too, would rather see development of the "brownfield" variety. Keep the trees.

If flora can be replaced and used extensively in the development, it should not be bad in a few years.
