Takes Its Last Bow

Due to a number of obstacles too difficult to overcome, CoCoSPA has closed its doors and taken its last bow. | |

You'll find sidewalk, crosswalk, and roadway intersection improvements that have increased pedestrian safety. You'll come across active construction zones as Shadelands continues to be a destination for new and expanding enterprises: professional services, medical, sports, schools, animal welfare, dining, shopping, residential, the arts, and so much more.

And you'll feel refreshed—revitalized—and ready for the rest of the day.
