Romes added, “Our company has a long track record of adding value to shopping centers through our leasing efforts. We look forward to finding the right tenant to partner with in the former Virginia College space. We have been encouraged by the amount of interest in our first couple weeks of marketing the space.” Anchored by Dollar General and several great local restaurants, this center has been a retail staple in the community since it was developed.
