It looks
like Home Depot is putting all of its Peachtree City eggs
in one basket.
In the
midst of a controversial application for a site on Ga.
Highway 54 West, the Atlanta-based retail giant has
apparently decided against pursuing its initial proposed
location in the city, at Kedron Village.
Home
Depot's option on a commercial tract next to the Kroger
shopping center at Kedron Village has lapsed, according
to Jerry Peterson of Pathway Communities, which is
marketing the property.
Peterson
also confirmed Thursday that Pathway is already talking
with other parties about the site, although he could not
name them at this time.
The
property is zoned general commercial and will likely be
home to a large retail site when construction is
completed. A "big box" retail center has always
been the plan for that area, Peterson pointed out, and
the city's land-use plan demonstrates this.
City
planner David Rast said Thursday that he had heard a
rumor about Home Depot's change of plans at Kedron, but
no official notification had been given the city, and
none was necessary.
The
conceptual site plan for the Kedron site is still in the
city's files, Rast said, and it will remain an active
project until Home Depot tells the city otherwise.
Meanwhile,
Home Depot's plan for the Huddleston property at the
western end of the city will be discussed again before
the Peachtree City Planning Commission at Monday night's
regular meeting. The plan has been tabled twice in the
past month.
