Project description: Since entering the market in March, Plaza Tire Service plans to open its third Springfield store before the end of the year. The Cape Girardeau-based chain operates 62 stores across Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Arkansas. To make way for its latest store, Plaza Tire had the South Campbell Avenue building demolished. It previously housed a number of restaurants in recent years – most recently La Mision. The other Plaza Tire stores are on East Sunshine Street, in a retrofitted building, and West Sunshine Street, adjacent to Springfield Plaza. Company officials have said they planned three stores in the city.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
