New Development Activity in the area

Poor Hwy 42 in that area. The state may need to fast track the widening of the road in that area. The upcoming Copper District project, when fully built out, is going to put A LOT of traffic on that road, albeit a little further down the road from this lastest proposal.

 

I think Copper District when fully built will have 2000-5000 workers in the office buildings and another 2000-3000 people living there. So that could be a lot of cars in the morning and afternoon.

 

I heard that as well. With Food Lion being the grocery store. But everytime I drive past it, on the sign it still says "Sale Pending" its been saying that for years

I saw alot of land being cleared on 42 across from Circle K and Firestone. Anybody know what might be going up there?

anyone know what ever happened to this Handy Mart? this post is from 2020

 

I emailed them a while ago and they gave an excuse of supply chain issues getting some of the construction materials.

 

Now there will be 3 grocery stores on that intersection.

Publix Super Markets announced on June 6, 2023, that it has executed a lease for a new store location in the Garner, NC area.

The new Publix at Middle Creek Crossings will be located at the Southeast corner of NC Highway 42 and NC Highway 50.

According to the company, the store will be 48,387 square feet and is expected to open in early 2025.

This has been fully approved with some minor modifications to the site plan.

 

Personally I don’t see Lowe’s surviving in that location for long oncePublix does open. FL will be ok as the low cost leader but Lowe’s cannot compete with Publix.

Another project from 2020, that hasn't started. Wonder what is up? or just the fact stores might not be building new now with some closing. Like Bed Bath Beyond.

 

I drive by often and have wondered what happened. It's been owned by ADCOCK FAMILY INTERESTS LLC since 2018.
