GCC Development LLC has submitted a formal request to rezone 2.3 acres of a 17-acre parcel at 3611 Wheeler Road in Augusta. The company plans to construct a 124-room extended stay hotel on the property.
Why it matters
The proposal marks a continued effort to develop the site after a previous hotel project was recommended for approval by local planners last year. The new application requires a shift from Agricultural to General Business zoning.
The proposed site sits at 3611 Wheeler Road, with the project slated to feature 124 guest rooms. The developer is seeking to rezone the land from its current Agricultural designation to General Business.
The players
GCC Development LLC
This organization is the developer based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that has filed the petition for the hotel project.
Augusta Planning Commission
This local government body is responsible for evaluating land-use requests and providing recommendations on development projects.
Walter Sheridan Wilson Trust
This entity acts as the property owner for the 17-acre land parcel located at 3611 Wheeler Road.
The details
The developer submitted both a petition for rezoning and a special exception request for the project. The property is currently owned by the Walter Sheridan Wilson Trust.
Timeline
The Augusta Planning Commission recommended approval for a previous hotel project on the site in August 2025.
A previous request was placed on the Augusta Commission Consent Agenda on August 19, 2025.
Records from September 2025 indicated one outparcel under Green Jacket Lodging LLC.
The Augusta Planning Commission is scheduled to consider the current request on October 5, 2026.
Roadmap
The application follows the pattern established by the August 2025 Augusta Planning Commission approval recommendation for a prior hotel proposal at the same address. This project represents a sustained effort to bring extended stay lodging to the Wheeler Road corridor.
Travelers and residents should monitor the upcoming commission meeting to see if this project proceeds toward construction on Wheeler Road. Local infrastructure and traffic patterns around the site may see adjustments if the hotel development gains final approval.
The takeaway
The latest filing underscores the ongoing interest in developing the Wheeler Road parcel for hospitality use. Future site progress will depend on the upcoming evaluation of the land-use designation by municipal authorities.
What happens next
The Augusta Planning Commission is scheduled to evaluate the rezoning and special exception request during a public meeting on October 5, 2026.
