Pleasant Hill Landing groundbreaking begins; hosts report new warehouse bringing roughly 200–250 jobs
Summary
Podcast hosts described the Pleasant Hill Landing groundbreaking — a three-building affordable housing project with 164 units being built by Sheridan Construction — and reported that Bob's Discount Furniture plans a nearby warehouse, with job estimates given on-air at about 200 and a later figure of 250.
Hosts on the Making It podcast described a recent groundbreaking for Pleasant Hill Landing, a local affordable-housing development where Sheridan Construction was reported on-site. The project is planned as three buildings with a total of 164 units intended for family housing; hosts said the units are being marketed as high-quality affordable housing.
The hosts also discussed an announced Bob’s Discount Furniture warehouse project that should produce local jobs; during the episode the hosts gave two different figures when describing the employment impact — one around 200 jobs and another figure of 250 — which the podcast presented as an estimated range.
Context: hosts linked these projects to broader local economic activity, noting student involvement from Mercer University at another clinic project and the role of local partners and volunteers in community initiatives.
What happens next: the hosts said construction is already underway at Pleasant Hill Landing and that listeners driving by Madison Street can see Sheridan Construction signage; they encouraged residents to follow local coverage for future updates on occupancy dates and hiring for the warehouse.
Attribution note: project descriptions and job figures were delivered by the podcast hosts and are based on local reporting and on-site observation shared on the episode; the episode did not include formal county resolutions or official project filings within the recorded transcript.
