PART OF INGLES PLAZA IN MILLS RIVER
Pardee UNC Health Care’s newest Urgent Care facility, now under constructio in Mills River, will be opening early this summer.
That new Urgent Care is being built as part of Ingles plaza which also includes an ACE Hardware and Mills River Family Dental, at the intersection of the five-lane Highway 280 and North Mills River Road.
It had been planned to open the new facility next month, but construction delays due to weather have obviously pushed that opening into the summer.
A spokesman or Pardee said last week, “We are currently focused on finishing up the most immediate need which is the Urgent Care center.” As for other parts of the new building, the spokesman said “We continue to evaluate the best use for the additional space.”
Pardee plans to continue operating the Mills River Family Practice of Dr. Danny Grace and three other providers...Dr. Amy Johnson, Dr. Carol Copenhaver, and William Hull... on Highway 280 in front of the former Bi-Lo’s store.
Pardee UNC Health Care also purchased over 20 acres along Highway 280 across from Ingles many months ago, and has not yet decided how to develop that property.
The new Urgent Care center is being built by Vannoy Construction which also built the new Health Science Center on Sixth Avenue West..
