Apartment complex coming up in Waynesboro

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.”
