A Georgia shopping center developer has paid $3.5 million for 19 acres of land in the Heritage community in Wake Forest where construction is slated to start soon for a new grocery-anchored shopping center. A spokesperson for Publix Super Markets , a Lakeland, Florida-based grocery chain that has been expanding into North Carolina the past couple of years, has confirmed that Publix has signed a lease contract to anchor the new center, called Shoppes at Heritage Village.
