Dr.s’ Chris & Amy Griffin projected opening of their new practice in the Yorktown Medical & Business Park is just over 5,000 sq.ft. and was designed by David Mougeou, AIA of Baton Rouge. The project is expected to be completed by the end of August.

In other news, the partners of Bordelon & Maxwell Development Co., LLC made application to the City of Alexandria for the re-zoning of (5+) acres at the rear of the Yorktown complex from C-2, General Commercial District to a (DUC) Diverse Use Corridor. This re-zoning would allow us to plan Phase II in a fashion that could incorporate “high end” patio homes and a jogging trail into the planned development. We look forward to feed back from the surrounding community, specifically adjacent owners in the Georgetown Subdivision.
