Demolition
The Waynesboro Outlet Village was demolished during August 2006 to make way for a new retail center, with the first new tenants planned to open in the fall of 2007. Existing tenants were required to vacate their spaces by June 19, 2006.
While some buildings in the complex were demolished conventionally, others were burned to the ground by the Waynesboro Fire Department, which conducted training exercises in the buildings. Fire chief Charles Scott described the situation as "win-win", as the fire department is able to conduct valuable training, while the new developers are able to save on demolition costs.
