A 40-Million Dollar Shopping Center Planned For The Exit 7 Area Of Interstate 81 In Bristol Virginia Has Been Delayed By Almost A Year. The 90-Acre Jefferson Trace Shopping Center, Where The Publix Grocery Store Is Planned, Is Now Expected To Open In Late 2018. It Will Be Built At The Intersection Of Lee Highway And Clear Creek Road. The Delay Was Pushed Back Due To A Combination Of When Tenants Will Accept Delivery Of Their Space And When The Best Time Is To Start Construction.
