The Ingles shopping center located at 98 Hwy. 61 Connector, Villa Rica, GA 30180 has been in decline for many years and is considered by many as an eyesore in the community. The retail center was built in 1988 and shows 32 years of use and wear and is in major need of rehabilitation. Ingles chief competitor in the local market, Publix, is currently undergoing a significant renovation. The Ingles Plaza in Villa Rica is dingy, faded paint and roofing, mildewed stucco, and parking lot full of potholes. This petition serves as a public notice to the Ingles Corporation that they need to be a better community partner and address this property which is becoming an increasing blight on our community.
