EVANSVILLE — A Casey’s General Store & Fuel Center is being proposed for the northeast corner of Pollack Avenue and Green River Road.
The site, which formerly included the Neville’s IGA grocery store, sits across from both Wesselman’s Supermarket and Caze Elementary School on different corners.
Both the vacant grocery store building and a vacant house on the site of nearly one acre will be razed to make room for the new construction.
The site is being purchased by Casey’s from Paul and Elvira Neville.
James K. Neville, president of Interprop Management, which manages properties of the Neville family, said construction will possibly begin around the end of July.
Plans for the Casey’s are scheduled to be reviewed at 9:30 a.m. Monday by the Evansville Area Plan Commission Site Review Committee.
They call for a convenience store building, with 3,780 square feet, and a canopy measuring 5,544 square feet, according to Donna Holderfield, a zoning enforcement officer with the plan commission.
The plans also include six fuel pumps, she said.
“It will be a good complement to the corner and will be convenient for motorists coming off Interstate 164 or heading toward the interstate, just blocks away,” said Neville.
Paul and Elvira Neville got out of the grocery store business in December 2002, after at least 43 years.
They sold their Neville’s IGA at 2030 S. Green River Road to Wesselman’s Supermarkets.
The Nevilles, also long in the real estate and development business, began construction in mid-December 2002 on a new grocery store building for Wesselman’s, across the street.
The new Wesselman’s opened in August 2003.
