Jonquil Plaza redevelopment will result in the new new Jonquil Village at the intersection of Spring and Atlanta Road. As you can see in the Jonquil Village sitemap, a grocery store will be included on the southern side of the project, and yes, the rumors are true. The grocery store will be Publix.

There will be in excess of 270 luxurious condos, 150,000 square feet of retail space, 350+ street level parking spots serving the grocery store and other retail shops and restaurants. There will be an additional 1,000 parking spaces in an underground parking deck.

Worried about the trains? With the upcoming silent crossing, the trains will no longer blow their horns and will significantly reduce their speeds. The silent crossing barriers will be installed to ensure that no cars can cross the railroad tracks when a train is approaching.

Another neat feature upcoming for Jonquil Village will be that the entire village is set to be wireless. Stay tuned.

At Wednesday’s Cobb school board meeting, the expectation was that the Jonquil Plaza project would be approved. The Cobb County school board must approve any projects that are using the tax allocation district funding that was set up in 2003. The TAD includes about 140 acres in Smyrna. The total cap that was previously approved is $30 million and the school board voiced concern that with the new Jonquil Village needing $24 to $26 million in bond financing, it wouldn’t leave much for any other projects that have been discussed, most notably Belmont Hills.

With the school board not scheduled to meet again until December 14th, Mayor Bacon asked that a special meeting prior to their next meeting to get the matter resolved. After much angst and uncertainty, the Cobb County school board did call a special meeting and has approved the project. Yeah!!!

The Jonquil Plaza planned redevelopment includes more than 160,000 square feet of retail space including a Publix grocery store, more than 20,000 in office space, and about 300-355 condominiums all built above a 1,000-space underground parking deck. Everyone is certainly excited about this new development and will truly make Smyrna an exciting place to live/work/play when combined with The Market Village, One Ivy Walk and West Village.
