Publix to open store in Bowie Commons development By Richard Edmondson
Publix Supermarkets will become the anchor tenant in the new Bowie Commons development, construction on which could begin as soon as late summer, it was announced last week.
"We would like to tonight publicly announce to the community of Fairview that we have secured Publix Supermarkets to be the anchor of our center, Bowie Commons," announced Ralph Knauss to members of the Fairview Board of Commissioners last Thursday.
Knauss, of the Franklin development firm, SouthStar, Inc., said a sign at some point in the near future will be placed in front of the undeveloped commercial property, located adjacent to City Center, saying "Publix coming soon."
The announcement comes as welcomed news in the midst of an economic downturn that has gripped the country-and it also caps off a two-year period of uncertainty which saw public concerns aroused over the fate of Bowie Park.
Westview Plaza holds grand opening
This past weekend businesses in the Westview Plaza center celebrated their grand opening in the community with an open house event. Open to the public, food and drink were provided to all those curious in learning about Fairview's latest offering. Located on the western side of Fairview, Westview Plaza is now complete. This 5,000 SF commercial center is the first of its kind to come to the community. Current tenants include: Nash Eyecare, Charter Properties and Continental Insurance. Additional space is available.
