Dollar Tree News & Events - Dollar Tree Moving Forward with Chesapeake Campus Development ProjectOREANDA-NEWS. August 04, 2016. Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR), North America's leading operator of
discount variety stores, today announced that it is moving forward with
its existing plan to develop its 70 acre property along Volvo Parkway in
Chesapeake, Virginia. The Company's rezoning application was approved by
Chesapeake City Council in September 2013 after a series of public
hearings. Progress on the real estate development paused while the
Company worked through its recent acquisition of Family Dollar.
The development plans include a broad mix of possible uses such as
retail, office, civic, hotel, and multi-family, as well as a public
parking deck. Among other things, the Company expects additional office
space will allow it to expand organically by at least 100 new jobs
annually over the next six years. Governor
Terry McAuliffe, the
Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Chesapeake have facilitated the
Company's expansion through grants, tax credits, and the Greenbrier Tax
Increment Financing (TIF). As a result, the Company has decided that the
City of Chesapeake will be the center of much of its corporate growth.
The City Council must approve the project in a public meeting.
Much of the new village-style development will be vertical, which
maximizes open space for greenery, plazas, and spacious street-scapes.
The development will directly benefit Dollar Tree's associates and the
general public by fostering uses such as restaurants, daycare, doctors'
offices, apartments and condominiums.
"Dollar Tree has seen tremendous growth over the past 30 years," said
Bob Sasser, Chief Executive Officer of Dollar Tree. "We have grown from
a small number of stores to a leading retailer with more than 14,000
retail stores across North America. To facilitate our continued growth,
we are investing in the development of corporate facilities."
"We are proud to be part of the Hampton Roads community," Sasser
continued. "We are appreciative of the support we have received from the
City of Chesapeake and the Commonwealth of Virginia throughout the past
three decades. We are excited about this development and the opportunity
to create more jobs, as we grow our business."
