Garnett Zoning Director, Eric Mills, says eight projects are either nearing completion, underway or set to engage in coming months. Mills noted a long discussed storm water project on U. S. Highway 59, or Maple Street, between 4th and 1st Avenues. The project aims to reduce long time flooding that has plagued the area for several years, during heavy rains. It’s set to begin Spring of next year. A construction project for a new convenience store is also still slated for the southeast corner of Park and U. S. 59, by the owners of Garnett Short Stop. Leiszler Oil took over the property of the former Anderson County Sales Company recently. The start date is unknown.
Mills says Jessica Troyer was nearing completion on her restaurant and retail project “Troyer’s 1883” and was set to open in coming weeks. Williams Monuments is building a storefront in the 500 block of East 6th Avenue and Countryside Vet Clinic is adding an addition north of its large animal clinic location.
