Oconee County Issued A Permit For a Restaurant At Falls Of Oconee Complex Opposite Athens Ridge
The new building, which will overlook McNutt Creek just downstream from the old mill dam, is for a restaurant.
Oconee County’s Code Enforcement Office has issued a building permit for the fourth of five planned buildings at the restaurant, retail and office complex being developed on Old Macon Highway across from the Athens Ridge student housing complex.
The new building, which will overlook McNutt Creek just downstream from the old mill dam, is for a restaurant, according to the building permit.
The Oconee County Utility Department has granted 2,000 gallons per day of sewer capacity for an 80-seat restaurant for the site, according to the permit records.
The building will join three others already in the complex, called The Falls of Oconee.
The county issued permits for the construction of the shells of those three buildings in May of 2015, but the county has not received applications for build-out permits for the three buildings, and they remain unoccupied.
