Oconee County Planning Commission To Review Plans For Another Medical Complex On Virgil Langford Road
Phase III of Three Sixteen Professional Quarter is on the Planning Commission Agenda.
The Oconee County Planning Commission will be asked tomorrow night to give its approval to the rezone of 14 acres at the corner of Virgil Langford Road and Jennings Mill Road that will be part of a 65-acre complex including medical and professional offices and a retirement community.
The project joins recently rezoned Resurgence Park, which now includes a dermatology and cancer center that is nearing completion and another retirement community under construction, in defining the area along Virgil Langford Road north of SR 316 as a medical office destination.
St. Mary’s Hospital owns another 70 acres nearby as part of its High Hills complex on Jennings Mill Road across SR Loop 10 from the Virgil Langford Road development, part of which is developed as a retirement community and dementia center.
Athens Regional Health Resources Inc. owns another 76 acres further west on the north side of SR 316, west of Jimmy Daniell Road. That land is undeveloped at present.
The rezone request before the Planning Commission tomorrow night is for what is being called Phase III of Three Sixteen Professional Quarter. Phase I is largely occupied. Construction is continuing on Phase II, but a number of buildings have tenants.
