McCoy's proposed retreat center requires roads plan changes

One of the area’s oldest and most revered companies is planning to build a new corporate special events center, retreat and training facility and is looking to the city for a change in the overall transportation plan.

During the city council’s regular meeting Tuesday, Amanda Hernandez, newly appointed director of Planning & Development services for the city, presented a preliminary report in connection to a request by the firm, Eckermann Engineering, Inc.

The engineering firm represents the interests of the applicant, McCoy’s Building Supply. The company stated that it is looking to expand its hometown footprint and similarly its corporate presence for its employees here and in the 80-plus stores it operates.
