Oconee County Issued Land Disturbance Permit For Expansion Of Epps Bridge Centre

Oconee County on Sept. 15 issued a permit for land disturbance activities for expansion of Epps Bridge Centre, but it has not yet issued a second permit that would allow for installation of site infrastructure.

The county permit followed approval on Aug. 18 by the Oconee River Soil and Water Conservation District of an erosion and sediment control plan submitted by Oconee 316 Associates LLC and developer Frank Bishop of Atlanta for the 54 acres for the shopping center expansion.

The site plan approved by the Oconee River Soil and Water Conservation District also includes 20 acres not part of the shopping center that will be used to provide fill for the project.

All of the acreage covered by the plan submitted by Oconee 316 Associates LLC to the Oconee River Soil and Water Conservation District and by the permit issued by the county remains in the hands of the Evelyn and Frank Gordy Family, according to deeds on file in the Oconee County Clerk of Courts Office late last week.
