Two Big Projects, One Growing Community - Updates on the Publix at Lake Country Village and the Italian Chophouse at Lake Oconee

Today’s episode is all about progress, the kind you can see, feel, and soon… experience. If you’ve been around Lake Country lately, you’ve probably noticed it. Construction moving forward. New spaces taking shape. And a growing sense that something exciting is right around the corner. So today, we’re bringing you a special episode featuring two conversations, both centered on projects that are helping shape the future of our community in very different ways. First, we’ll catch up with Adam Shaefer for an update on Lake Country Village, including the highly anticipated Publix development. This is an exciting project and real progress is happening! We’ll talk about what’s been completed, what’s coming next, and what it all means for growth and everyday convenience here in Putnam County. Then, we shift from construction to completion, as we sit down with Gary Sofen to talk about the transformation of the former Bone Island Grill into the Italian Chophouse on Lake Oconee. The renovations are done, the vision has come to life, and we’ll dive into everything from the concept and design to the new waterfront pavilion and boat docks that are sure to make this THE destination on the lake. Two projects. Two perspectives. One community that continues to grow and evolve. So if you’re curious about what’s being built and what’s coming next, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
