Home Depot clears hurdle in Garden City planning process
The Finney County Planning Commission approved a plat for a Wolf Land property in Garden City set for development by The Home Depot and an Omaha developer. The Prairie Crossing project on Kansas Avenue includes three front lots and a back lot for Home Depot with a private street dividing the parcels. Omaha’s Bob Woltemath says two of the three front lots may house national restaurants and hints a final lineup depends on the project’s progress. The commission also rezoned the site to General Commercial and approved a 3.17 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet waiver.
