Named “West District,” the site will see the creation of a “Disney-esque” extension of downtown when complete.

“Our vision is to build the project to replicate the existing downtown,” Whitfield said. “It will include brick facades, landscaping and aesthetic details that give the feel of the existing downtown buildings that are a century old.

“We will brick the front of the warehouse and construct an operating wooden water tower which we will use to house reclaimed water for irrigation. We want to develop this project so that it will reflect the unique and passionate vision of the Blue Mile committee and our community.”

Josh was inspired to take on this project by his father Michael, who is also a developer and has developed unique projects throughout the south.

Demolition has begun on the project with site development and renovation of 50,000 square feet of the remaining structure, which will serve as the anchor for the project and will house Whitfield Signs.

From the West site, Whitfield donated a 15,000-square foot structure to Broken Shackle ranch which is being disassembled and will be reassembled at 7th Mile Farms and will house a gymnasium.
