New permits signed for Epps Bridge Centre


     The Epps Bridge Centre, located off the Oconee Connector/ Jennings Mill Parkway extension, has gained new tenants: Dick’s Sporting Goods and PetSmart.
     These stores will join Off Broadway Shoes, department store Marshall’s and the Georgia Theater Company, whose building permits have already been filled.      
     The only announced tenant prior to last week was the 16-screen movie theater, University 16 Stadium Theatre, which is set to open by Memorial Day of 2013. The theater is expected to be the first business to open in the $76 million project.
     Although many of the retail spaces are vacant, developer The Bishop Company of Atlanta could be constructing the buildings without an identified tenant to attract a specific company or on speculation according to B.R. White, director of the Oconee County planning and code enforcement offices.
     During an interview with university instructor Lee Becker, White said that other possible tenants have been discussed, but no building permits have been issued.
