New Kwik Trip planned
By Correne Martin
Kwik Trip has broken ground for a new store on the south end of Prairie du Chien, in Bridgeport.
The store is located on the corner lot off Highway 18, across Selch Drive from Nathan Plaza. The property was most recently owned by the Prairie du Chien Memorial Hospital Association, or Crossing Rivers Health, according to Prairie du Chien City Administrator Chad Abram.
The city, on behalf of the Prairie du Chien Airport, acquired avigation easments for two parcels, with Kwik Trip agreeing to perpetually preserve the fly zone above and near its new facility. These easements were approved by the council last month, along with certified survey maps of the site.
Dax Connely, real estate manager with Kwik Trip, said once the company closed on purchasing the property at the end of this month, construction would begin—as it did Monday.
