Greenwood Common Council Approves Proposal to Rezone Land for Buc-Ee's

  • On Monday, the Greenwood Common Council voted seven-to-two to approve the state's first Buc-ee's, a $50 million travel center planned for the southwest corner of Worthsville Road and I-65.
  • The Texas-based chain committed $13 million to $14 million toward roadway improvements, addressing traffic concerns near the 80-acre development at the interstate interchange.
  • Project plans include a 74,000-square-foot facility with 120 gas pumps and 42 electric vehicle chargers, expected to generate 175 to 225 jobs and $9 million in annual payroll by late 2028.
  • Council members Ezra Hill and Darin Hoggatt opposed the development, citing traffic, light pollution, and the company's reputation for "corporate bullying" against small businesses.
  • Expansion continues as the company prepares to open inaugural locations in Louisiana, Kansas, and Wisconsin by the end of 2027.
