Apartments will be built before Sheetz builds at Hwy 42 and Amelia Church Road per developer at Town of Clayton Planning Board when apartments were approved. Apartments were planned directly behind Sheetz. No progress and no ground broken and property is looking bad! In the meantime more medical support buildings approved right down Hwy. 42. Clayton is gaining some very good medical practice groups. Great for us seniors!
Sheetz had originally said that they planned to open in the Spring of 2014 here. There are 2 Sheetz planned on 42, one at Cornwallis, the other at Amelia Church. The 2nd one will not be built until the new apartments are built first.
Is this official? We drive by the location at Cornwallis every day and noticed that there's not much happening there now. It would be so convenient if a Sheetz was there. Thanks to anyone in the know!
They had said so on their Facebook page a couple months ago. Construction was supposed to start in the Fall of 2013. They were currently getting the final approvals from the County last I checked.
I dont how accurate my information is but I work at a gas station down from there and we heard they found a gas line running under the property that no one knew about, and its going to cost a fortune to move, I heard around a million.
So much for speculation! Received this today: Thank you for contacting Sheetz. I have reviewed the Construction Schedule that we have available to us and I don't see anything scheduled for the Clayton, NC area. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Thank you, Barb B. Sheetz Customer Service
From Sheetz Facebook page: Facebook Post For reference, their email customer service reps don't know anything. Their Social Media employees always have the inside scoop.
Thank you for posting. You're correct. Emailing and phone calls haven't been very informative. This is why I check here for info. The people on here are great! Well, most of them! (Some of them kinda scare me, sometimes!:jester
They started doing construction at Amelia Church and 42 intersection last week. So far they have just been clearing that lot.
Thats what it looks like, I drive through there once a day. It looks like they are doing some clearing on the corner lot diagonal to corner they are staged on for doing the sewer / water lines. A year or so ago there was an old house on that lot and the local fire dept did a controlled burn or training exercise there.
OK, I know that we don't personally pay taxes to the town of Clayton, but is the corner of hwy 42 and Cornwallis under the jurisdiction of Clayton? Thanks to anyone in the know!
It is in their ETJ, so yes. Their ETJ pretty much goes past the 70 bypass a little bit, going down 42 towards 40/42
