New Complex on SR 316 To Include Hotel, Medical Offices And Assisted Living Facility

Land planning firm Williams and Associates filed documents with the Oconee County Planning Department on Monday proposing a $57 million project, including an assisted living facility, medical offices and a hotel, for the northeast corner of SR 316 and the Oconee Connector.

The project, being referred to as Resurgence Park, will require the county to change zoning for the 30-acre parcel to allow for the assisted living facility.

The Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night approved a change in sewer policy that will allow the assisted living facility to be classified as commercial. The county has exceeded the amount of sewer capacity it has set aside for residential use.

The plans submitted by Williams and Associates have not yet been reviewed by county planning staff, Planner Brad Callender told me on Friday afternoon, and details of the project can change as a result of that review process.
