City of Waynesboro
“More than three years after the city approved an ambitious,
mixed-use development plan for the West End, construction is set to begin on
the first residential buildings for Waynesboro Place. The developer has built
an extension to Windigrove Drive past The Home Depot that dead-ends on the
construction site, which will host the first phase of the the project — a
243-unit apartment complex. Those rental buildings are slated to be the first
of many to go up, said Greg Hitchin, Waynesboro’s director of economic
development…
Waynesboro Place was approved in 2010 to include 38,500
square feet of office space to be built in the early part of the development. A
later phase is to include 6,200 square feet in retail, restaurant and office
uses, plus another 120,000 square feet to be designated for retail.
To get the plan approved over some objection from nearby
residents, the builder agreed to road improvements expected to ease traffic
congestion from the Interstate 64 interchange to Rosser Avenue. A connecting
road to the adjacent, existing neighborhood has already been paved, though it’s
not yet open to traffic.”
