WILLIAMSBURG — The City of Williamsburg says that as far as it is concerned, plans for Uptown Alley coming to Williamsburg remain unchanged.
“The Uptown Alley status remains the same on the City end of things,” said Nicole Trifone, Communications Director for the City of Williamsburg.
The family-friendly entertainment center had said most recently it planned to open last spring at 2200 Richmond Road, the site of what was once a flagship Yankee Candle Store. That did not come to fruition, however, and no further updates about the facility have been given.
Emails to Uptown Alley from WYDaily were unanswered.
Uptown Alley, LLC purchased the 64,000 square foot mixed-use property, situated on six acres, from Fulton Bank for $4 million in April 2023, according to Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer.
Williamsburg City Council unanimously voted to award a revenue-sharing incentive to Uptown Alley. The performance-based revenue-sharing agreement grants a percentage of the taxes that Uptown Alley will pay to the city over five years. Capped at $600,000, it was to be used for exterior improvements to modernize the building.
Uptown Alley remains a Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce Presidents Circle Sponsor.
