Buc-ee’s has been given the green light by the city of Huber Heights to begin groundwork at the site of its first Ohio store, a step that signals full-on construction is near. Planning commission on Tuesday gave the company approval for a 125-foot highway-oriented pylon sign, a facet of the project that was omitted from previous development plan submissions pending completion of a “balloon test.” As construction of the new store draws nearer, the city of Huber Heights remains in ongoing litigation with the Board of Clark County Commissioners related to services near the project location. The Clark County Commissioners first filed a court complaint against the city last summer, claiming Huber Heights’ 20-year wastewater treatment services contract with the city of Fairborn, which the city entered into in 2022 as part of its east sewer main extension project, may violate a similar set of contracts between Clark County and Huber Heights.
