Planned Epps Bridge Road development...
UOWN has been following recent activity on the part of a developer and the Oconee County commission, toward the building of a large commercial development off of Epps Bridge Parkway, on the Clarke-Oconee county line. This shopping center, if constructed as planned, would impact upon a number of streams directly by piping them. The site also drains directly to McNutt Creek, an important tributary of the Oconee. Keep informed about this momentous project via Lee Becker's well-maintained blog, Oconee County Observations.
