Plans for the site call for a new 70,000-square-foot commercial building for dealership Broadway Ford Truck Center, which would front the interstate, expanding its existing site nearby. Green Street would also build 220,000 square feet of industrial space and another 150,000 square feet in speculative development. The industrial space would be divided into three spaces ranging from 70,000 square feet to 75,000 square feet, according to city documents.
Creating access to southbound North Broadway was key to attracting Broadway Ford, Hulse said. The dealership, owned by Dennis Phillips and Ken Linton and with a supply center in the Kosciusko neighborhood, reported 811 vehicle sales last year.
The dealership and other tenants want easy interstate access for distribution, logistics and manufacturing uses, Hulse said.
