Regency Centers has terminated its lease with Goodwill, which had planned to open a location in Cochran's Crossing, Lauren Bottonari, vice president and market officer with Regency, told Community Impact.
The Woodlands Township’s Development Standards Committee on Nov. 5 had turned down applications presented for a Goodwill store at Cochran’s Crossing Village Center after determining the site, as proposed, would be a warehouse use, which is prohibited at the center.
"We appreciate that Regency Centers took the time to listen to and consider the concerns raised by our community regarding the proposed Goodwill store at Cochran's Crossing," said Brad Bailey, chair of The Woodlands Township board of directors. "Our village shopping centers play an important role in the daily life and long-term health of our community. As we look ahead, we believe it is important for Regency Centers to work collaboratively with the township board of directors and community leaders to thoughtfully revitalize these aging centers with retail that aligns with the needs and expectations of our residents."
