City issues permit for strip center

The City of Plainview has issued an $800,000 commercial building permit for the construction of Plainview Common Shopping Center, to be located immediately north of the Walmart Supercenter on the west side of Interstate 27.

Initial plans for the strip shopping center, being developed by White Oak Development, were announced last fall after a sign went up at the site, which is in front of another strip center that includes GameStop.

In November, Plainview Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Linda Morris disclosed that three spaces in the planned shopping center already have been leased. At that time Morris said a clothing store will anchor one end with a restaurant on the other. Great Clips, a hair salon/barber shop, will be located in the middle.

The folks from Great Clips were the ones who broke the news when they came by our booth (at a trade show) and said they were excited about coming to Plainview, Morris said.

With that permit, the citys April building report shows total permitted construction for the month of $838,350 and $1,256,957 for the year. That compares with $1,090,205 for the same four-month period in 2013.

The shopping center is the first permit for new commercial construction thus far this year. There have been no permits issued for new residential construction during 2014.

A total of 10 permits were issued during April by the citys building department, including three for residential additions, at a total value of $15,000; one residential remodel, $500; one residential demolition, $0; two commercial remodels, $20,500; and two signs, $2,350.

For the year to date, 58 permits have been issued by the city residential addition, 11; residential remodel, 9; residential demolition, 2; residential accessory, 1; garage/carport, 8; storage building, 1; new commercial, 1; commercial addition, 1; commercial remodel, 9; commercial demolition, 2; and signs, 13.
