After years of court battles, a stagnant economy and other delays, more than $1 million in site improvements — including runoff protection fencing and road preparation — are beginning for the Riverbrook Village mixed-use development on Thompson Bridge Road at Ga. 136/Price Road. Bulldozers will dot the landscape next week while grading and additional infrastructure, including entrances on Price and Thompson Bridge roads, will be constructed for the residential component of the development over the next several months. The project, which will entail retail shopping, restaurants and a gated apartment community on an 83-acre property, was approved in January 2013 by the Hall County Board of Commissioners.
