development is underway on the south side of Holly
Springs near U.S. 78 for a new Wendy’s and AutoZone.
Wendy’s
restaurant will be located just south of Sonic, according
to Don Hollingsworth with the Holly Springs Utility
Department. A new AutoZone store will be built nearby on
land adjacent to the westbound ramp to Highway 78, he
said.
Hollingsworth
said access to the new businesses will be possible when
an intersection is completed directly opposite
McDonald’s on Craft Street.
West
Boundary Extension will connect with West Boundary at
Chulahoma Avenue and allow for traffic flow west of town
into a new development area known as Holly Springs
Commons. The extension will tie in to Craft Street at the
new intersection near Wendy’s.
Expected to
open soon a short distance north on Craft Street is a new
KFC.
Holly
Springs Mayor Andre’ DeBerry said on Tuesday that
the Mississippi Development Authority approved $2 million
for the construction of West Boundary Extension Friday.
He also said the city is working with other state
agencies to garner another $1,050,000 needed to complete
the extension.
Commercial
development, medical and health care-related projects and
residential development is expected to take place in the
Commons, DeBerry said.
“We are
looking to do some economic impact projects in the
Commons area,” he said.
