A development that will house Dick’s Sporting Goods and four or five other businesses is expected to be completed in six months, a city official said.
The project, located on the 600 block of East McGalliard Road, is one in a string of developments that could offer future opportunities for Ball State students in architecture or engineering design, said Todd Donati, president of Delaware County Commissioners.
“We are not just looking into labor forces entirely,” he said. “It involves adding architectural design or engineering design or a placement of technology involving those types of positions that go along with the creation of the industrial, commercial or light industrial positions. We certainly want to keep as many students in town as possible, especially the ones that are born here.”
Overall, he said the development is expected to generate 100 to 120 construction jobs with a $2.8 million payroll.
Developers of the project are expected to spend $14 million and to create an additional 30 to 40 full-time jobs with an average salary of $30,000 or more, Donati said.
The Muncie Redevelopment Commission will see the full proposal for the Dick’s Sporting Goods development at its meeting 9 a.m. Friday in the Muncie mayor’s office.
Apart from that project, Donati said his team is working on a development near Tillotson Avenue and Memorial Drive, which will be completed in 2014.
He said this project will create an additional $12 million to $13 million in development and will also create about 40 jobs.
Donati said he is looking into a potential development on the east side of Muncie, but the details have not been approved or released yet.
