Let's go!!!!!☺️
Here is the scoop! Last Friday, a petition for annexation was filed with the City, County, and Madison & Mifflin Townships for the development of a travel center at the 39 & 71 interchange. This is the next step in a process that has already been in the works for months with a little company you may have heard of - Buc-ee's 😁
We are still in the final stages of the due diligence process with them, but this step makes the process more public. A development of this size doesn’t come around all that often. It’s more than a gas station or restaurant or retail store. It’s a destination and experience that will undoubtedly make a substantial impact on our community. 🏗️
High paying jobs, revenues, and brisket…what’s not to love? ❤️
This is a Type 2 annexation which means the Townships keep their revenues, the City will get income tax and water/sewer revenues and the County gets sales tax. It is a structure that allows everyone to benefit from the project. 🤝
And as consumers we get the Wall of Jerky, pulled pork, and the legendary spice section. 😊
There are still a few steps ahead before everything is official, but this is an important milestone toward putting Mansfield and Richland County on the Buc-ee’s map. 👏
Mansfield - here, we grow!
