Growth Pushes Garden City to Expand Housing and Infrastructure
City officials face rising demand as economic development picks up. Schulman Crossing anchored by Menards and retailers since 2013 spurs housing and road-improvement needs on the southeast side. Meadowlark Dairy Nutrition plans a $235 million plant on city land near the Jameson Energy Center, likely boosting truck traffic and jobs by 2017. Kansas DOT also named Garden City a transload site, signaling broader infrastructure growth.
