Albemarle
I didn’t intend for this to be a “search for homes near Wegmans” post but as I wrote, I got curious …
Wegmans is seeking to open in Charlottesville next year. This is huge for two reasons (no longer available):
– Wegmans is coming and those on that side of Charlottesville won’t have to go to Barracks Road or Pantops or 29 North for groceries.
– The connector between Avon Street and 5th Street Extended will be opening to coincide with Wegmans’ opening.
Progress. Although the inevitable segmentation of the Charlottesville-Albemarle area continues. (more on this)
Background:
– Wegmans Finally coming to Charlottesville – January 2014
– Wegmans, Cracker Barrel and Target on 5th Street? – February 2012 – No to Target and probably no to Cracker Barrel.
– 29 North? Where’s That? Said the Customers of Wegmans in Charlottesville – July 2012 – Costco won’t be going on 5th Street; it’s going to Stonefield.
