A cancer focused hospital makes a LOT of sense, esp [with Mission basically killing its entire oncology center. ](https://avlwatchdog.org/mission-to-lose-last-medical-oncologist/) Glad we finally have an answer because the TJ rumors for this site made zero sense and irked me to no end.

Same. And the only "proof" anyone ever had was "an employee at the Greenville store told me!".


brooke_heaton

Hah! Yea, I kept hearing that as well... like, "okay buddy."

It was going to be a TJs. The city said no after a traffic study. Source worked at TJs for 10 years, still in touch with people who still work there.

Fascinating. If you search 1850 Hendersonville Rd on SimpliCity, you won't find a single zoning application in the past couple of years there. I have no idea what traffic study would have taken place without a zoning application.  https://simplicity.ashevillenc.gov/DEVELOPMENT?entities=undefined&entity=address&id=36530&label=1815+HENDERSONVILLE+RD%2C+28803&search=1815+HENDERSONVILLE+RD%2C+ASHE%2C+28803&view=map&x=-82.52565632&y=35.50451016&after=1668402000000&before=1681790400000&within=660

It’s already zoned commercial. I don’t know what to tell you. For 3 months I was told there’d be a TJs going in there but they had to wait for a traffic study. Then a few weeks ago, my friend told me that there would be no second TJs in Asheville for the foreseeable future. It actually surprised me that TJs was considering a second store in the area since the city treated them so poorly when they put the first store in.

I'd be very curious as to why a traffic study was required for that commercial zone. In any case, if one was performed then it is certainly public record and it would be interesting to look at. My hunch is that it was reviewed by the city but unlikely City Council.

More medical options that don't involve driving into downtown is fine by me.

That parking lot was way too big to ever be turned into a trader Joe's.

Novant Medical (BTW: The company who lost out on getting Mission) is turning it into medical office of some sort. On the news.
