Residential development to the east will have access to Salem Road through subject property allowing for even more visibility to commercial development. LOCATION OVERVIEW Located roughly 20 miles east of the 285 Atlanta perimeter, Newton County has experienced phenomenal growth in commercial and residential development, but especially in areas close to I-20. Over the last 3-5 years, the total number of occupied homes within a 3-mile radius has risen 14% and, as everyone knows, “retail follows rooftops”. Covington is home to one of the most charming downtown business districts with beautifully maintained parks and architecture. Lidl Grocery, Takeda, FaceBook, as well as the new multi-billion dollar Rivian project nearby deliver thousands of jobs to the area. As residential growth continues being stimulated, commercial sites will become more sought after to serve growing population.
