Welcome to Raising Grundy, a blog chronicling the re-construction of a special town in the Highlands section of Virginia. The new Center bridges two sides of the community—traditional township with new development—connecting the people who make this place a proud home. We look forward to seeing continued positive economic impact unfold for the whole region. It was a pleasure to work with the good people of Grundy. - The Stewart Perry Company

I love being able to see the updates with the progress across the river. Iwork at the courthouse and can see much, this is great, THANKS again!
The progress seems to have come to a standstill. This seems to be inline with the whole project from the start. The project has been the victim of false promises and missed progress goals for years.
Agreed. It is moving slow and hopefully the final approvals are soon.
i was wondering why more photos are not posted,,,i keep up with the progress on the computer but i don’t see to many photos posted,,,and updates
Mr. Looney,
Please be sure to check out our flickr account for addtional photos.
will the new wal mart be finished by the end of the year,,,,,,thanks
Mr. Looney,
We are working with the owner to determine an exact completion date and we will let you know once it has been finalized. Thanks so much for taking interest in the project.
Hello could you somehow give us a over head view with name tags of what each area is called like i hear the words shop b and so on and so on but i have no visual aid. also could i get a bigger photo of the artist rendering of the final outcome.
Unfortunately due to legal agreements, we are unable to publish information beyond what we do currently. Also, the artist rendering is considered intellectual property and we are unable to meet that request.
i was wondering if a tenative date for opening has been set or anticipated. i was thinking of visiting in that area this summer. thanks everything looks good………
Wondering if you can release some of the store names of what will be over there with walmart besides just walmart =]
Due to legal agreements, unfortunately not. Sorry.
When will any of the other buildings on the site start construction?
As of now, we are unsure of the dates.
I am so impressed by how beautiful everything has turned out. I was raised in
Garden Creek and my mom in the Grundy area. I am thrilled to see something
of this magnitude in Grundy. When I was there the last time I thought Grundy
was gone….and I was sad because at one time it was such a thriving ciity. Great
job! Awesome!

Do you know when they are going to open doors at walmart..i mean at least tell us a month..its takin forever..i mean they are already hiring people and stuff like that so yea..do you know when the doors open??
Please comment back..
A soft opening is planned for September 14.
whats with the fence in front of the beautiful store? We hope this is not permaent,
The town of Grundy is placing a fence around the future building site of Building C, the 2-story building in front of the shops. JA Street, a local contractor installed the foundation and will later build that building. The fence is to protect the public from that foundation construction.
I grew up below Grundy in Big Rock.We left for greener pastures in the early sixties,but in my heart they don’t make greener pastures. I am almost sixty now but growing up there was the best time of my life. Kinda sad what is happening,but it is also neccessary i guess. God bless Buchanan county! Thanks for this site too!
