Building. #15 to be located in the Underwood Business Park off Old Underwood Road south of State Highway 225 and Union Pacific Railroad. Clay Development and Construction Inc., is seeking a permit for construction of a 225,000 square foot warehouse/distribution building along Porter Road, a 60' ingress/egress and utility easement off Old Underwood Road, within the Underwood Business Park. Each additional reserve/phase of the project would require a subsequent Special Conditional Use Permit. Each Site Plan submittal would be considered separately.

To the east of the park, associated detention was constructed in Phase I. The first phase of the business park development started in May, 2005 with a project known as "Poly One", which was completed earlier this year. Building permits for construction of a 432,000 square foot office/warehouse building and a 900,000 square foot building, to be used as distribution centers, were issued. These buildings are currently under construction and will be partially rail served at a later stage. The primary access to the park is along Old Underwood Road via Battleground Road and State Highway 225.
