The township said that Thursday’s opening marked “a major step in bringing new life and investment back to this area.”
“For years, this site was home to a hotel that was destroyed during the 2019 Memorial Day tornadoes,” the township said in the social media post. “Since then, it has remained an empty, overgrown lot along the I-75 corridor.”
In addition to gas pumps, there is a convenience store and a kitchen.
