Concept Plans for Woodstock City Center Released

The City of Woodstock has released concept plans for the first phase of its City Center project in downtown. This phase of the project includes the redevelopment of a 4-acre site at the southeast corner of East Main Street and Arnold Mill Road, which includes the former site of Morgan’s Ace Hardware and other vacant parcels owned by the City and the Downtown Development Authority.

The concept plans show improvements for public infrastructure to include realignment of Chambers Street and the elimination of a portion of East Main Street to improve access in and out of the existing commercial district. The site will also feature a six-level, 647-car parking deck with entrances on three separate levels, allowing for efficiencies in access and circulation within the structure.

The private development partner, Morris and Fellows, was selected through a request for qualifications in 2015 for the entirety of City Center. The firm was the original commercial partner in the adjoining Woodstock Downtown mixed-use project developed in the early 2000s. Morris and Fellows agreed to a letter of intent in February and will manage construction of the public infrastructure and build privately owned buildings that feature additional retail, restaurant, and office opportunities as well as a boutique hotel with community event space. The privately held land will be purchased from the city for $1.5 million.

The City is in various stages of other projects that will improve vehicular and pedestrian access, including the Hub Transformation project and the Arnold Mill Streetscape project.

The CIty Council decided to take the lead on the vision for this site due to development proposals that were incompatible with the existing fabric of downtown. The City closed on
the 2.2-acre Morgan’s Ace Hardware property following the store’s relocation in late 2021 for $3.8 million.

Portions of the infrastructure related to City Center are anticipated to begin in the next six months with project completion to take three years. The City will be releasing a website for information on this project, which will include leasing information and project updates.
