When the Courtyard was built, there was also supposed to be an Azlin's Steakhouse and a couple of other things on that stretch of land. Years later and still nothing but the Courtyard.
The 4 lane is going to be a continuous problem until we deal with it. Pumping high speed through a prime walkable area.
Some guy on Gene’s Page who is apparently in the know said it, but I don’t have any official confirmation on that. Everybody seems to buy in. I guess we will see.
They just spent 10 million on expanding Mitchell Memorial Library in 2018 to house the Grant Library. I find it hard to believe that they would do something else like new construction.
They are gonna be building it and currently trying to get donations for it. The MSU welcome center is also going to be over there.
That was my thought too. I haven't seen or heard anything about it. That being said it does draw a good many visitors and would draw more if it was easier to get to.
pretty sure a "multi use space" was what college view was trying to be. I haven't been on campus in a while, but i don't think retail/restaurants have done well and its sitting pretty much as a residence hall/apartments.
Good deal! That place draws more people than most know. If it was in a more accessible place by car, it would draw more.
That would shut down the university.
An attractive mixed-use space developed at the location highlighted by the original poster would be seen by everyone coming to campus from Highway 25/12. I'm sure there are other opportunities elsewhere.
I think that fuels the perception that there isnt much in Starkville. If people stay at a hotel out highway 12 after you get off 82, they can miss the entire town
Yes of course, but I've changed my mind, we should host the Zachary Taylor library, as he actually lived in Mississippi at the time of his election.
Our project was already in the works, but today's announcement looks better than I ever imagined. It looks on the level of that Wake Forest project linked. I can't wait.
Don't think we have any Billionaire grads. There was one who was pretty close and he really never was involved with MSU athletics. Kind of weird being that he was a high school football coach at one time. Art Williams.....some big insurance guy.
The best thing that could happen to Starkville is for a F5 tornado to touchdown on Highway 12 right after the Waffle House and pick back up just before hitting the campus sign. While everyone is out of town on vacation, of course.
