THE DIGEST
Publix Permit Filed for Eastern Wharf Location

A new Publix appears to be moving forward at Eastern Wharf.

A building permit application filed with the City of Savannah on February 26 outlines plans for a roughly 36,000 square foot Publix with a parking garage level at the entrance to the riverfront development. While the filing does not include a construction timeline, project documents identify Publix Supermarkets as the intended tenant.
