Buc-ee’s construction resumes in Ohio following water and sewer agreement
Construction on the highly anticipated Buc-ee’s store in Montgomery County, Ohio, is back on track after Huber Heights City Council and Clark County finalized a water and sewer service agreement, according to WKEF.
The agreement, recently approved by the Huber Heights City Council and Clark County commissioners, resolves a legal dispute that had delayed progress on the project. Work can now proceed on the 74,000-square-foot facility located at the northeast corner of the Interstate 70 and State Route 235 interchange.
Originally delayed due to the lawsuit, the project had its groundbreaking in August, according to WKEF. The new Buc-ee’s is expected to bring significant economic benefits, including approximately 200 jobs and millions of dollars in revenue for Huber Heights. Plans include a dedicated highway lane providing direct access to the store’s parking lot, as well as potential bypass lanes for through traffic.
Mayor Jeff Gore expressed enthusiasm about the development, emphasizing its regional draw. “This will have a major impact on the area, attracting travelers from across Ohio and neighboring states. We’re thrilled to see this project moving forward,” he said.
“We are pleased to have worked out a deal that benefits both parties. This partnership sets the stage for future cooperation on projects in this region,” Clark County Board President Melanie Flax Wilt told WKEF in a statement.
