Epps Bridge Centre Expansion Depends on Rezoning, Road Construction, Environmental Permits

Site Plan v1.jpg

Plans for Epps Bridge Centre phases II and III that were submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers.

Atlanta Developer Frank Bishop filed paperwork with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers late last month for Phases II and III of Epps Bridge Centre, to be built in the wooded area across the Oconee Connector from his existing shopping center.

Bishop filed the paperwork with the Corps of Engineers because he plans to alter streams and wetlands on the property and needs permits from both the state of Georgia and from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers before he can begin construction.

He also will need to rezone the land, now zoned for agricultural use. 

The paperwork Bishop has submitted to Corps of Engineers shows him using 48 acres of an 114-acre tract owned by the Evelyn and Frank Gordy Family.

The documents Bishop submitted show a completed Parkway Boulevard, which now ends at Kohl’s.
