Shenandoah Senior Villa ribbon cutting set Wednesday
(Shenandoah) -- What once was an dilapidated gas station is now the site of a major housing project in Shenandoah. Ribbon-cutting ceremonies take place Wednesday morning at 11:30 at the Shenandoah Senior Villa Apartment Complex at 1401 West Sheridan Avenue. Occupation of the 40-unit apartment complex for residents 55 and over took place earlier this year following the facility's completion. Shenandoah's City Council paved the way for the project's fruition by approving a development agreement with North Star LLC in December, 2022. That same month, crews demolished an old gas station standing at that location for decades. Construction began in April, 2023 after crews placed a concrete slab. Gregg Connell is executive vice president of the Shenandoah Chamber and Industry Association. In a January interview with KMA News, Connell pinpointed the beginning of the project's construction as a highlight of 2023.
