I hope Costco comes to the area, just not here. Lastly, for the other commenters, I would think you will lose golf cart access to Costco and all the businesses west of the planned location.
The location road wise is an exact replica of BJ's on 441. One block off the main highway. The side street was not widened to 4 lanes. Still golf cart accessible.
