Aston advances redevelopment of Powdersville Plaza as exterior improvements take shape

Ongoing transformation project continues while all existing tenants remain open

Exterior renovations and site enhancements are now visibly taking shape at Powdersville Plaza as Aston advances the transformation of the Anderson County shopping center. The project includes updated storefront façades, infrastructure upgrades, and the future addition of a new Publix, while all existing tenants remain open and operational.

The investment reflects Aston’s continued commitment to enhancing established retail centers that serve the everyday needs of the surrounding community while improving the overall customer and tenant experience.

“Powdersville Plaza has long served as an important retail destination for the surrounding community, and these improvements reflect Aston’s continued investment in the future of the center,” said Barnes Connell, managing director at Aston. “We are proud that the businesses within Powdersville Plaza continue serving customers every day as work moves forward across the property.”

Visitors may notice temporary construction activity and the temporary removal of some storefront signage as exterior façade work continues throughout the center.

Current tenants at Powdersville Plaza include Choi’s Cleaners, The UPS Store, King Wok, Los Amigos, CenterWell, Ken Shuler’s School of Cosmetology, Exotic Nails, Marble Slab Creamery, and Great American Cookies.

“A major focus throughout this project has been maintaining a positive experience for both tenants and visitors while improvements continue across the property,” said Grant Icenhour, construction project assistant at Aston. “As work progresses, we’re continuing to coordinate site access, storefront visibility, and long-term enhancements designed to better serve the Powdersville community.”

Since groundbreaking earlier this year, work has continued steadily across the site, including the installation of new retaining walls, construction of exterior block walls, roof deck installation, façade demolition, and ongoing infrastructure coordination to support the center’s long-term improvements.

Aston anticipates storefront signage will be reinstalled by the end of this summer, with the full façade renovation expected to be completed this Fall.

Additional site enhancements, including parking lot paving, landscaping, and updated site lighting, will continue throughout the remainder of the project. The future Publix at Powdersville Plaza remains on track for an anticipated early 2027 opening.
