Summary

  • June 22 marks the start of Greenwood’s approval process, with the Plan Commission set to hear a rezoning request for Buc-ee’s first Indiana travel center.
  • The proposal covers 80 acres at Interstate 65 and Worthsville Road, with the development itself using 37 acres for a 74,000-square-foot store, 120 gas pumps and EV charging stations.
  • Residents can comment at Greenwood City Center planning meetings as the Texas-based chain pushes into a state where it has no locations yet.
  • The nearest Buc-ee’s to central Indiana is in the Dayton, Ohio, area, while Indiana is also drawing rival expansions from Wawa, Wally’s and Sheetz.
