In tough economic times, most cities slow their development until the economy picks back up. But Sand Springs is one city that's betting on the future and moving forward on a multi-million dollar project with absolutely no plans for cutbacks. The city is aggressively seeking retail outlets and restaurants for River City Crossing.
River City Crossing is located at Morrow Road and Highway 97 near the Arkansas River . Usually, an anchor tenant comes in first; but the city is doing something very different. It's developing the property before the anchor tenant. Although this area's anchor store will be Lowes, it's not coming until 2011.
The area around River City Crossing has had the most growth in Sand Springs and sees the most traffic. So, the new property will be considered a hot spot for restaurants and retailers. Developers are also planning on moving an early childhood development center that currently sits on the property into a new building that will accommodate more children. It's a win for the kids, public, and community.
Anyone looking to buy a home in one of Tulsa 's suburbs can find Sand Springs along the Arkansas River, nestled in the hills of Tulsa County . Sand Springs is a lively city that offers its residents a great way of life and an abundance of activities.
