development in recent months. “The Grand Parkway is really the reason all of this is happening,” said Mark Linabury, president and CEO of the Greater East Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. “The hub of opportunity is New Caney; all roads now lead right here.” Since April, at least 15 businesses have opened in Town Center, according to previous Community Impact reporting. Within that same timeframe, ocials have announced 10 additional businesses slated for the center that have not yet opened. “As Town Center gets to where we don’t have many opportunities left, we have started planning within the other districts,” said Shannon League, vice president of Marketing for The Signorelli Co. According to League, while Town Center is nearing build-out, the developer still has 500 acres in Valley Ranch’s surrounding districts to develop. “Town Center is only just a small piece in the beginning of what’s to come,” League said. A changing landscape Since The Signorelli Co. rst began work on Valley Ranch in 1999, much has changed in what used to be rural east Montgomery County. According to League, two of the most pivotal events in the development of Valley Ranch have been the extension of the Grand Parkway and the legalization of the sale of alcohol within Valley Ranch, which voters approved in 2017. “That was a really big turning point when it came to commercial development in the community,” League said. Since the May opening of the Grand Parkway extension, a slate of businesses have opened within Town Center, including Victoria’s Secret, Home Goods, F45 Training and Goody Goody Liquor, which League said is now the largest liquor store in Montgomery County. Construction on a 135,000-square-foot Target began in June and is slated for completion in mid-August. Additional businesses of note under construction include Rogers Premier Salon Suites, scheduled to open in September; Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, set to open in June; and Saltgrass Steak House, which is slated to open later this year. Also coming down the pipeline is the East Montgomery County Improvement District’s new 200,000-square-foot conference center, which will be
