PHofKS 5818 Report post Posted June 21, 2011 Looks like this project was initially announced in 2007: http://www.allbusiness.com/services/business-services/3988636-1.html This has been in the works for a couple of years or more. That's when I initially started work on traffic analysis for TDOT as massive changes to the I-40 interchange will be needed to handle all the traffic. The state 'MAY' widen I-40 from Bellevue to McCrory Lane (about five miles) to help. And I've seen some erosion control in place, presumably for the laying of larger water lines to the site. It should be quite a development if the developer's "European investors are excited". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSUBlueraider86 30 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 This first came up in 1996 when I moved out here. There have been plans for this area for decades going back to the late 1980s when Mr.Moonyhan ( Moonyhan Mazda etc...) wanted to build car dealerships and even a movie lot at this exit until a lot of it was located in flood planes. Bo Mitchell recently had meetings with residents about it. There is a thread about this somewhere else. BR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
