Greenwood Buc-ee's Rezoning for 80 Acres Likely Slips to July 13

Summary
June 22 was set for Greenwood Plan Commission's first hearing, but developers will likely push the Buc-ee's rezoning request to July 13 while revising it.
The delay stems from a mismatch with Greenwood's comprehensive plan: the proposal seeks industrial zoning, while staff want commercial zoning to avoid opening the site to other industrial uses if Buc-ee's falls through.
The project would make Buc-ee's first Indiana location on the southeast corner of Interstate 65 and Worthsville Road, with a 74,000-square-foot travel center, 120 gas pumps and EV charging stations on 37 of the 80 acres.
Planning staff broadly backed the concept for its interstate access, tax-base growth and jobs, while asking for stronger street-side landscaping and links to Greenwood's trail system, roads and green space.
