New Publix in North Chattanooga ???

Where have I been?  This is the first I've heard about it. 
The North Shore Publix is planned for the corner of North Market Street and Manning Street. 
Personally, I like the idea of a closer Publix.  I'm more likely to drive 4 miles than to drive the 11 to the Hurricane Creek location. 
If North Shore nixes the plan for Publix to move there, perhaps they would consider St Elmo????
