Since school started in August, Highway 54 has attracted multiple stores and businesses. People on 54 are surely not complaining.<\/p>\n
Tabor Payne, junior, who\u2019s lived on 54 for multiple years,\u00a0feels it has become more convenient for him and his family. \u201cIt\u2019s the new Frederica,\u201d Payne says.<\/p>\n
The newest addition to 54 was Popeye’s Chicken. The arrival was with positive responses.<\/p>\n
When Popeye\u2019s opened up this past summer, \u201cthe traffic was ridiculous,\u201d 54 resident Alexis Dub\u00e8, senior, said.<\/p>\n
The construction and improvement are constantly happening. As of right now, there is a new big project breaking ground.<\/p>\n
The Gateway Commons project is a 260-acre project will give Highway 54 a police source, fire station, and a sanitation service.<\/p>\n
The plans include retail, restaurant, entertainment space including a movie theater and bowling alley, office space, two 150 room hotels, and numerous residential units.<\/p>\n
The new plan has come with positive reactions from the student body. Many students were eager for their choice of restaurant.<\/p>\n
\u201cI normally go twice a week to babysit, but I would go more if they had a Whole Foods,\u201d Lily Hall, senior, said.<\/p>\n
Suggestions range from a new Chic Fil A to Cheesecake Factory.<\/p>\n
\u201cI personally would like a Gattitown to come,\u201d parent volunteer Megan Hunt.<\/p>\n
Desires for food didn’t always come with a positive opinion. \u00a0While Hunt would love a Gattitown she also thinks we have \u201cenough retail.\u201d Kilah Wells, senior, responded to Hunt with, \u201cI would like to have a new nature area, but not a park.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
