I'm surprised the local media hasn't picked up on this yet. It will be built near the Georgia National Fairgrounds and will feature retail, a hotel, office space and a 350-lot residential subdivision.

The Loudermilk Cos. is embarking on a major mixed-use project in perhaps one of the least expected places in Georgia — the City of Perry, more than 100 miles south of Atlanta.

The 240-acre project, adjacent to the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter, will include a mix of retailers, a hotel, small office space and The Preserve at Agricultural Village, a 350-lot subdivision. Already, a Waffle House has been developed, as has Strippling’s General Store, a 12K SF butcher shop that offers fresh meats, cheeses and condiments.

At a time when developers are focused on major metro areas for massive mixed-use developments, a project of this nature is an anomaly. But Loudermilk said the state-owned Agricenter is driving a tremendous amount of untapped demand for retail and residential in Perry. GNF is home to the Georgia National Fair, the Georgia National Junior Livestock Show and the Georgia National Rodeo, among other major agricultural-themed events.

The facility sees an average of 1 million visitors per year, Loudermilk said, and it is looking for restaurants and businesses focused on its interests, such as farming suppliers and outdoor equipment suppliers.

Probably a good option. Perry is commuting distance to all of Warner Robins and Macon for jobs, healthcare, shopping, etc. Additionally for retail needs...that exit would be the first for all those coming from South Georgia. Perry is basicallywhere midsize metro meets rural south GA.

I like Perry. I would live there over the suburban strip mall hell of Warner Robins any day.

The Preserve at Agricultural Village should be interesting.

Is there any speculation of what retail is projected?
