LIFE IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS: Construction progress on Cherokee Nation Child Development Center and Phase III of The District
08/15/2024
The Cherokee Nation is investing $22 million to construct a 27,000-square foot Cherokee Nation Child Development Center. When complete, the Cherokee Nation Child Development Center with Head Start will feature 12 classrooms and provide up to 175 children a safe place to learn and grow.
MidAmerica Industrial Park partnered with the tribe by providing 12 acres of land located on West 530 alongside Hwy 69A. The site is adjacent to The District, MidAmerica’s 162-acre, multi-phase retail and residential development. Phase I included The District retail and entertainment center which opened in July 2021 and Phase II included West 530 Luxury Apartments which opened in November 2023.
Master planning and engineering design is complete on Phase III of the residential development featuring 100 homes and 10 acres of parks and outdoor spaces, which will all connect via walking and biking trail systems.
MidAmerica continues to plan and invest in expanding residential options to benefit the 4,500 workers at MidAmerica and prospective future employees.
