Route 7 and River Creek Pkwy Interchange Construction Kicked Off

Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd led town staff members to the groundbreaking ceremony of the proposed Route7 and River Creek Parkway Interchange which is being funded by Kettler, the developer of the Village at Leesburg. This planned mixed-use development is dependent on the successful completion of the interchange.

Kettler official, Eddie Byrne said the "The interchange will take three construction seasons to complete". Representatives of Wegmans, the anchor of the proposed mixed-used development were also at the ceremony. The mixed-use development is being called the "Gateway to Leesburg" by virtue of its location, so the town government through the Architectural Review Board for the interchange has been very involved in the design of the development.

Village at Leesburg will transform Leesburg town and the county in many ways, perhaps the same effect the Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets had when it opened. A destination shopping and entertainment center with residential units that is alive 24 hours a day? Possibly.
