(KNZA)--Prairie Band LLC will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday morning, September 30th, for a new travel plaza and truck stop, just south of the city of Mayetta in Jackson County.

The public is invited to attend the groundbreaking celebration at 10:00 on the east side of U.S. 75 Highway, at 150th Road.

Prairie Band Construction Manager Mitchell Pierson said the new development is another significant step in the Prairie Band- economic development and evolution.

Pierson said the new 12,000 square-foot travel plaza will offer modern fueling infrastructure, a full-service convenience store, updated amenities for long-haul drivers and space for national food service tenants.

He said the development is designed to meet the needs of the region, create new jobs and revenue sources and further their commitment to innovation, sustainability and self-determination.

Construction on the project will begin this fall with an anticipated opening in late 2026
