Specialty Merchants with Character

Main Street Shops at Afton Village

Afton Village's merchant community is a valuable component of its master plan,

and the overall success of the community. Great care has been taken with retail partnerships assure residents the best services and shops to fufill their needs, as well as tickle their fancy. By providing the best selection of merchants within walking distance of our residents, we hope that great relationships will take root, and develop into a self-sustaining, prosperous and involved neighborhood.

The Foundry, the Chesterfield, and the Exchange Buildings offer a mixture of uses: Village Shops on the ground floor and residential lofts on the second floor. Determined to keep the charm and unique character of Afton Village, Main Street was developed not only to provide a convenient set of goods and services, but also establish a variety of informal meeting places for the community.

AFTON VILLAGE'S COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
"Ultimately, there must be a good fit between our Village concept and all of our future merchants. We are determined not to let the commercial area of Afton Village become just another strip center," says developer, David Mayfield. The interview process continues between selected professional and retail merchants to ensure that just the right mix is maintained for the unique character of Afton Village. There will be beautiful plazas and courtyards where restaurants and cafes can spill outdoors and families can enjoy the amenities and convenience of the Village lifestyle. Negotiations are underway with two large restaurants.

WESTSIDE BYPASS
Thanks to the long awaited Westside Bypass (formally named the George W. Liles Parkway), Afton Village will also enjoy the advantage of attracting businesses catering to outside traffic. Phase I of the bypass includes the interchange at Crisco and I-85, the parkway to the south along Crisco to Village Drive (Afton Village Main Street), and the parkway to the north along Crisco to Hwy 73. The new I-85 interchange, Exit 54, opened October 2002, increasing traffic driving past Afton Village's commercial district dramatically. Phase II, which is tentatively slated for construction within the next ten years, will extend the parkway north beyond Hwy. 73 and will go from the Afton Village entrance at Village Drive, south along Crisco Road to Hwy. 29 and eventually to Hwy. 49. Customers will be able to conveniently come to Afton Village and will find entertainment, shopping, and services all in one place.
