Two 20-acre parcels are slated for strategic development, with Whitehead noting, “we really would like to see mixed use development. I would love to be able to embrace a hotel.” The city also aims to attract “value-add manufacturing, something that would be sales tax driven,” along with tech industries and corporate headquarters.
