Oconee County Issued Two Occupancy Permits For Falls Of Oconee Commercial Complex

The permits were for The Olive Basket, a gourmet food store, and PT Solutions, a physical therapy facility.

The Oconee County Code Enforcement Office on Friday issued occupancy permits for two tenants of The Falls of Oconee commercial complex on Old Macon Highway at McNutt Creek.

The permits were for The Olive Basket, a gourmet food store, and PT Solutions, a physical therapy facility.

One of the owners of the Olive Basket was moving into the storefront on Saturday, and the PT Solutions space already was partially occupied.

The issuance of the permits comes more than three years after the county’s Development Review Committee gave first consideration to the plans for the five-building complex opposite the Athens Ridge student housing complex.

Work on another phase of the project, between Athens Ridge and Falls of Oconee, also is underway.
