Drivers traveling on Interstate 380 near Swisher, Iowa, have likely noticed the grading equipment moving dirt at a site east of the interstate and north of 120th Street NE.
Grading also has commenced to the west of the Swisher/Shueyville exit off I-380, between the interstate and Highway 965, and north of 120th Street NW.
Developers are in the throes of prepping the land around the undeveloped interchange to make way for a new RV center and repair shop, a commercial self-storage business and commercial buildings offering office, warehouse and shop space for contractors.
Curt Eilers, a commercial property owner and real estate developer with Venture Real Estate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, secured a conditional use permit from Johnson County to build a drive-up, commercial self-storage facility just east of I-380, north of the Swisher/Shueyville exit.
It will be climate controlled, with RV and boat storage canopies on a 6-acre lot.
Eilers also has applied to subdivide roughly 14 acres of the 20-acre farm property to the south of the storage facility to create four buildable lots for eventual sale or development. The application also calls for the creation of stormwater detention facilities and a new frontage road with access to 120th Street.
