Kroger is the latest anchor expected to open soon in the “bustling complex” of Cornerstone of Centerville, joining Costco Wholesale and Cabela’s at Cornerstone of Centerville North, the Dayton Daily News reports. Kroger invested $21.2 million in the new 125,000-square-foot store, which is “set to open by late May or early June,” according to the article. First Financial Bank, Buy Buy Baby and Bed, Bath & Beyond are among other businesses expected to open in 2017. The Cornerstone development “has spurred economic growth in both Centerville and nearby Sugarcreek Twp.,” according to city and township officials, but the “relationship between the two entities hasn’t always been smooth.” In November 2016, Centerville and Sugarcreek Twp. reached an agreement regarding “fire services and a tax-increment financing agreement” after years of disagreement (see our November 8, 2016 blog post). Backers of the development “say it will create 2,800 jobs for the region.” For more, read the full article.
