NBC29 news did a piece on Thursday on Charlottesville’s Avon Center retail development. You can check it out here.
No one has made an official announcement yet on the specifics or the timeframe of development. The big unknown is the expansion/construction of the Bent Creek Parkway, which will connect 5th Street to Avon Street and will serve as the linchpin for the entire Avon Center development.
Avon Center will have a big impact on residents living in Downtown Charlottesville and Southside, including neighborhoods like Belmont, Mill Creek, Redfields, Mosby Mountain and Whittington.
