The Woodstock City Council recently unanimously approved variances related to the development of Georgia's newest retail outlet mall, the Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta. Located at the newest interchange to be constructed on Interstate 575 along Ridgewalk Parkway, the project is slated to be around 404,000 square feet of commercial space in Phase I with an option to add an additional 30,000 square feet. The development will include eight out parcels and $75 million in investment.
Ridgewalk Parkway will be expanded from the new interchange to Ridge Trail and is expected to see an increase in traffic as it serves as a gateway to north Woodstock and east Cherokee. It is expected that the improvements to this roadway will both improve traffic flow and increase economic development opportunities for the adjacent Bell Industrial Park and adjacent raw lands. The corridor will also provide improved access to Rope Mill Park and the City's trail system with Blanket's Creek bicycle trails along the Little River. Several hundred-thousand visitors annually bike along the trails. The Outlet will support not only the 205,000 Cherokee County residents but is expected to generate $350 per square foot in sales and create over 7 million annual visits. The proximity to J.J. Biello Park's tennis center and softball complex will provide additional shopping and dining options for out of town guests using these facilities for tournaments.
A mile up the interstate from this interchange will be the home of the Cherokee Aquatic Center, an additional recreation facility that will be utilized to spur tourism in the county. The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta, a project by Horizon Group Properties, will be the closest retail outlet center to Atlanta and will include 1,200 new jobs, 1,200 construction jobs and up to 1,600 seasonal jobs for Cherokee County.
