Commercial Development Activity
We are pleased that the recent trend of spurred economic development activity, particularly within the Commercial segment, has continued. We wanted to highlight some of the projects you may have seen taking shape around town. In the Urban Hess Business Park, DL Granite & Design has started construction on a 6,000 square foot showroom and warehouse. Owner Dan Lungu is a local resident, and we were thrilled to have Dan choose Tonganoxie as a place to continue to grow his business. DL Granite & Design continues the local ownership presence in the Park by joining locally owned Wilson Glass LLC and Industrial Services Technologies (IST). You may have also noticed the new DG Market, located at US 24/40 and Smiley Rd. The DG market will offer an expanded fresh produce and meat selection, in an all new market format within an approximate 12,500 square foot store. Per company officials, the new store has a target opening date of November 20th. Progress continues on the Hill ’ s Pet Nutrition manufacturing plant in the Tonganoxie Business Park. Hill ’ s investment of over $325M in the plant represents the largest private capital investment in Leavenworth County history, and the company has already begun to invest as a community partner by participating in community and USD 464 events. They ’ ve also begun the hiring process for key positions at the plant, which expects to be operational by the Spring of ’23.
