Then again there isn't a Lowe's in the immediate vicinity of 5th St. Ext. like there is in Waynesboro. It clearly is an under-served area from a retail perspective.

Let's hope it actually comes to fruition. Living only 1-2 miles from the proposed development, I could not be happier. Let’s hope it actually comes to fruition.

I lived on Mill Creek Drive for a while, and I have to tell you it was more than a bit of a pain sometimes. My husband's office is off of 29 so commuting all of the time became a hassle. We decided that the solution for us was to move closer to downtown, which we did, and we are much happier. It's a great area over there, but not overly convenient for shopping, or being accessible during heavy traffic times around Charlottesville.

Both Lowes and Home Depot have reported lower same-store sales YOY this year. How anxious will they be to continue expansion plans during an apparent contraction?
