GRENTA, Neb. – Gretna will soon be home to a shopping center with up to half a million square feet of retail and service space.
The Lerner Company announced Wednesday that they have signed a contract to develop a large retail project near the intersection of 192nd Street and Highway 370 in Gretna.
According to the release, the proposed Gretna Crossing Shopping Center will generate more than $5 million in sales and property tax revenue for the City of Gretna each year while also creating 1,400 permanent job opportunities.
“This is by far the best retail location in the Gretna trade area.” At this time, numerous national, regional, and local retailers and services have expressed interest in locating in the new Gretna Crossing Shopping Center,” Lerner Company President Jay R. Lerner stated.
“We are very excited to be developing this project, which we believe will add to the attractiveness and prominence of Gretna’s current Highway 370 retail.”
Lerner also stated that Gretna is widely regarded as Nebraska’s fastest growing city, with the population expected to reach nearly 100,000 within the next ten years.
