#4– Greene County sees positive development news in 2014
Four old airplane hangars at the Greene County Airport were demolished to clear an area fronting Route 21 for commercial development.
Part of the development at the Greene County Airport involved the construction of a new 20,280 square- foot T-hanger east of the administration building.

Several years ago, it was thought the cornerstone of retail development in Greene County would take place in the Waynesburg Crossing development in Franklin Township, the site of the Walmart complex.
But Walmart, which opened a store there in March 2009, has remained the development’s only tenant.
While that project continued to remain static this year, another retail development site is beginning to take shape. Plans have begun to design a new access road at the county airport as part of a plan to prepare properties fronting Route 21 for commercial development. This is a project that was discussed for years, always with a caveat that this phase could not begin until that phase was completed.
Old hangars were demolished during 2014 and a new T-hangar constructed. This paves the way for a major part of the project – constructing a road into the airport property that will be realigned with Murtha Drive to make a new four-way intersection at Murtha Drive and Route 21.
Other positive economic news was the news the former Kyowa America Corp. building on Route 21 in Franklin Township, vacant for the last two years, was sold to a commercial real estate investment and development company.
Kyowa, which closed its plant there in July 2012, sold the building to SunCap Waynesburg LLC for $4.5 million. The property covers 13.3686 acres.
Also this year, Southwest Regional Medical Center’s former InstaCare Urgent Care was purchased by MedExpress, and the revamped facility reopened Nov. 12 at the same location in Green Plaza, and Peebles, a department store in existence since 1891, opened at the Widewaters Commons shopping complex outside Waynesburg.
