I figure with all the new developments taking place in Teays Valley, it was time to start a new thread to discuss all of the growth. In this thread i would like to discuss what is currently here, what is in the planning phase, and what you would like to see come to the valley.
Target
The new Target store is coming along. I don't know when it plans to be open, but from the progress i have seen, i would have to guess it will be open by June.
Harley Davidson
I have heard a lot of discussion about a Harley Davidson coming to the valley and going in next to Home Depot. So far this seems to be just rumor, as i haven't seen anything in the news or forums to make it official yet.
PepsiCo/Frito-Lay
The brand new 70,000 sq ft facility appears to be complete and operational.
Of course the rumor mill is always churning about what will come to the areas around the Route 35/I-64 interchange. I have heard there is a truck stop in the works, but i am not sure exactly where that is supposed to go. Hopefully it's not going close to Sheetz or Teays Valley Christain, that area is already very busy with daily commuter and school traffic and couldn't handle additional commercial truck traffic.
I'll be interested to read what others have to add to this discussion.
Also, US 35 is now finished and there might be an increase in development in that direction.
That's a good point Chris. A local realtor was just telling me the other day that due to Nucor just about to break ground in Mason County, that land and housing is projected to be in high demand from Point Pleasant to Scott Depot.
Oh one other thing i forgot to mention in the initial post is the new CAMC outpatient center that is nearing completion on Teays Valley Road near Mountain View Elementary. It's a pretty large and modern looking facility, i am surprised im not hearing more about it.
I also assume there is a planned renovation or expansion of the Teays Valley hospital at some point because there was project completed a couple years ago that updated the electrical systems and included new units for a future expansions.
CAMC celebrated the opening of their 60k sq ft Outpatient Center in Teays Valley. They also announced a $70 million investment in the hospital building itself in Teays Valley. Also, continued momentum for Vandelia Health as they continue to expand statewide.
With permits in hand, Nucor plans to begin construction soon on new Apple Grove Steel Mill.
During construction, nearly 2,000 workers are expected to be on the site. The plant is expected to employ about 800 workers once completed.
While this plant is not going to be in Teays Valley, it's already having an impact on the area in Northern Putman. Nearby, in Fraziers Bottom, Hoba Builders are already constructing a planned community called AP35, complete with walking trails, ponds, and recreational areas. The Nucor plant will be easily accessible from Fraziers Bottom via Plantation Road and Jerry's Run Road (20 minutes)
