In 2005, Packard Development proposed to develop a new shopping centers in Augusta. It was scheduled to open in 2006. The 50 acre site was to include a 400,000 square-foot shopping anchored by Target, Lowe's Home Improvement and include room for other stores and restaurants.
This new shopping center eventually opened in 2007-2008. It's called the Augusta Crossing, and is located at the end of then-called Storey Street (Senator Way) behind the Kennebec Journal building. The site is right in front of the Turnpike Mall but on the opposite side of the Interstate.
The process of bringing this shopping center took time because at one point, all but one house on the proposed site were acquired by Packard. The proposal to build the $40 million shopping center received final approval by the Augusta Planning Board on May 24, 2006.
Most stores opened in November 2007 and Target opened on Sunday, March 9, 2008. A.C.Moore opened later than the other smaller stores at the Crossing. Staples already had a store at the Augusta Marketplace before opening a new location.
A large vacant lot remains available on the right of the Target store. It was originally planned for a future Stop & Shop supermarket. Several property flyers were advertising this. Stop & Shop pulled out of Maine and NH in 2013, closing all seven stores so it's pretty clear that they will never open at the Augusta Crossing. A.C.Moore eventualy closed all of its stores including the Augusta location.
The former Kennebec Journal building in front of Augusta Crossing was demolished and replaced by the "Journal Square" shopping center which features a Goodwill, Supercuts, US Cellular, Starbucks, Five Guys and a Bank.
