STAUNTON Could new life be brought into the Chestnut Hill Shopping Center? Not if adding storage units to an abandoned shopping center is new life. That s what is proposed if the center is rezoned from general business to light industrial, according to city documents.
Staunton City Council will be holding a public hearing on potentially changing the zoning for the west end shopping center this Thursday.
The shopping center has been a big point of discussions for several years. It s been essentially empty since 2019, leaving the west end of the city with a gaping hole in retail and development opportunities.
