He has already been fielding some calls from prospects about availability. The west Cape Girardeau location is near the Westfield Mall and within the same general area as Staples, Target, Goody's, Sam's Club, Lowes, Circuit City and Wal-Mart. Directly north of the site is the Doctor's Park Development, the largest professional physician's complex between St. Louis and Memphis. City of Cape Girardeau has been planning the much needed thoroughfare for several years and have recently awarded the contract for construction.
