RINGGOLD, Ga. – Battlefield Parkway will be the home to a massive new shopping center anchored by a Kroger supermarket.
The official announcement came Tuesday when Catoosa County commissioners voted to approved roughly $904,000 in taxpayer-funded site work requested by the developer of the $14 million shopping center.
In all, the county will fund about $777,000 in drainage and sewer work while Fort Oglethorpe and Ringgold will pay 20 and 10 percent shares of the bill, respectively. That amounts to about $127,000 of the work, according to an incentives agreement detailed Tuesday by county attorney Chad Young.
The development will be at the corner of Pine Grove Road and Battlefield Parkway in Ringgold. There was no official word on when the store would open.
