With Greeneville Planning Administrator Justin Schooley absent, Building Department Director Bert Seay updated the Greeneville Regional Planning Commission Tuesday on several construction related projects in the town.
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF GREENEVILLE/GREENE COUNTY
The Boys and Girls Club is nearing the end of the project. Seay says such things as insulation and drywall were being installed last week, and the parking lot is in the process of being paved. Hopefully by the first of the year he said the facility will be ready for occupancy.
WEST MAIN DUPLEX
A duplex on West Main beside Broyles Feed Store replacing a dilapidated house there for many years, is also nearing completion.
TAKE FIVE OIL CHANGE LOCATION
The Take Five Oil Change location is under construction across from Fairgrounds Road. Improvements to the signalization at the expense of the developer, must be in place before the business opens.
SNAPPS FERRY ROAD LOT (COUNTY PROJECT)
The pad is under construction at the Snapps Ferry site for potential industry which is a project of Greene County.
PLAZA TOWERS
The town has been working with the owners of Plaza Towers to get a switchback handicap accessible ramp installed there. Seay said “we’re looking for that construction to start on that exterior ramp soon, if it hadn’t started already. They’re finishing up on the first and second floors for the renovations inside, and I will say the renovations that they’ve done have been a vast improvement for citizens out there. It’s a really great thing. I wish it would have been done years ago, but that’s going well.”
KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN
The Kentucky Fried Chicken project he says is “rounding third and heading toward home. They’re getting ready to do the parking lot out there. That has been a project that has gone very, very well. Those developers and that superintendent out there has built many of those and this one has gone exceptionally smooth for us.”
FONTANA POINT
Fontana Point is the 72-unit apartment building that’s going in behind Texas Roadhouse. “Those are progressing well. We are in the final stages of their structural framing inspections, and mechanical inspections on the third building. After that point, they start closing these things up, you’re not going to have heavy equipment in there after that, so you’ll start seeing the parking lots of the base coats go down and the paving happening. So you’re going to see a big change in how that looks up on the hill behind the restaurant in the next handful of weeks.
JOHNSON FARMS DEVELOLPMENT ON RUFE TAYLOR ROAD
Johnson Farms is progressing. “If you hadn’t been out there in a while, they’re headed up the hill.”
