Zion Crossroads Providing Much Needed Commercial Development

July 18, 2007 |

Anyone who lives east of the Charlottesville/Albemarle area, knows all too well the drive into Charlottesville. For decades, residents of Fluvanna and Louisa especially, have made the drive into Charlottesville for dining, shopping, recreation, etc. That may soon be changing.

Zion X Roads (the area where Rt. 250, Rt. 15 and I-64 intersect) is quickly developing into the next major regional commercial location. There have recently been a few news articles regarding the planned development, which I will be covering in a few upcoming posts. On the horizon for Zion X Roads is a new Best Western Hotel (opening August 1), a Super Wal-Mart, a Lowe’s Home Improvement Center, an upscale outlet mall, and plenty of other retail and office space. Combine all of this with what already exists in that area, including the growing community at Spring Creek, and Zion X Roads is sure to offer area residents a viable alternative to traveling into Charlottesville. It may also attract people out of Albemarle and away from the south side of Richmond, now wouldn’t that be a feat!

Time will tell how the development at Zion X Roads will affect the Charlottesville area, but one thing is for sure– it is an area whose time is long overdue.
