Developer: $26 million USDA loan secured for Cridersville urology center; groundbreaking planned in 2025
Summary
Crossroads told the Cridersville council it has secured a $26 million USDA loan for a planned urology center, expects final approvals and blueprints in about 100 days and aims to break ground in 2025; Phase 1 would create roughly 35 local jobs with a final buildout exceeding 100 positions.
Josh, a representative of Crossroads, told the Village of Cridersville council that the Crossroads project has secured a $26-million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is completing steps required to close the loan. He said Crossroads must obtain written approval to build the planned urology center and deliver final blueprints; those steps are expected in about 100 days and would clear the way to begin construction in 2025.
Josh said RD Jones will perform a seven-month construction-roadway project to serve as a temporary access during construction; after the urology center is built the roadway would be paved and curbed as a permanent street. He added that water and utilities work will be done during the roadway construction to make individual parcels shovel-ready.
On jobs and staffing, Josh estimated Phase 1 would create roughly 35 positions in Cridersville. At full buildout he said the development would support well over 100 jobs, including five physicians and about 35 physician assistants. He did not provide details about wage levels, property tax impacts, or exact parcel-by-parcel timelines.
Why it matters: a $26-million USDA-backed project and a construction sequence that readies parcels for development could meaningfully increase local employment and utility demand in Cridersville. Council members asked for updates and for staff to track the project’s permitting and utility-connection milestones.
Next steps: Crossroads expects to deliver the requested approval documents and final blueprints within approximately 100 days; council did not vote on any project-related approvals at this meeting.
