Developers Of Epps Bridge Centre Postpone Work On Part Of Project Thought To Include Costco

The developers of the expanded Epps Bridge Centre have postponed until some unspecified time in the future construction of the part of the project that was expected to include a Costco membership-only warehouse club.

In revised preliminary site plans submitted to the Oconee County Planning and Code Enforcement Department on July 31, Oconee 316 Associates LLC of Atlanta split development of Epps Bridge Centre II into two parts, labeled Phase 1 and 2.

Phase 1 includes three connected buildings totaling 105,176 square feet in space, a fourth stand-alone building of 7,500 square feet, and an outparcel without any buildings on it.

Permitting is going forward on Phase I of the project.

Phase 2 shows a building of 146,290 square feet, an out island that appears to be for a fueling station, and another building of 7,200 square feet of space.

Work on that part of the project has been put on hold.
