The widening project for SR 54 in Wesley Chapel finishes up and new businesses are planned

It sure is refreshing to have three lanes (mostly) open in each direction on SR 54 from BBD to Curley, now that the widening project is coming to an end!  It looks like several Wesley Chapel businesses are ready to locate on the recently widened highway.

There are four items of interest in Wesley Chapel on this week's agenda for the Pasco County Development Review Committee; one of which is a variance request:

• Wells Fargo-- Preliminary/Construction Site Plan for the Southeast side of the proposed intersection of S.R. 54 and Wiregrass Ranch Blvd.
• Advance Auto Parts--Preliminary Construction Site Plan for S.R. 54, approximately one-half mile west of I-75.
• Family Dollar on the southwest corner of S.R. 54 & Cobb Drive (Across from Home Depot on S.R. 54)--Preliminary/Construction Site Plan
• Variance request for a 4,000 sq. ft. fast food restaurant at the northeast corner of SR 54 & 581 (BBD).   (Sorry, I don't know the name of the restaurant at this time.)  Also, in between the proposed restaurant and Walgreens is a proposed Racetrac gas station that is not on this week's agenda.
