A $2 million renovation is underway at the former Cadence Operations Center at 12239 Hwy. 182 W. It is being converted into the “Professional Park” under the guidance of Mark Castleberry of Castle Productions: “We believe the market needs good quality office space,” Castleberry said. “New construction is very, very prohibitive right now. We felt that when we purchased this, that the building was a good value, it’s in a very good location, great parking and was well maintained and we were able to lease it at an acceptable rate.” the park is planning to offer ten spaces for offices/other businesses and thousands of feet of warehousing space in a 40 thousand sq ft facility.

Sylvia Byrd, dept. head of the MSU Extension Service’s Office of Nutrition Education, was one of the first to sign on, as they have been planning to expand: “Parking [on-campus] is a challenge. So the ease of the location (was important to us). So we started looking for space when we knew that we would need to be looking to expand our services. It just worked out that this property became available and when I found out about it, I just called and we went to look at it and decided that yes, this would meet our needs.” She went on to say that, “It’ll allow us to up our game and virtual program delivery, which is something that we’re planning for the future.”

Their new offices will include space for new training kitchens to teach clients about nutrition, health and food learning and even other facilities to improve its virtual learning programs. They plan to move in by mid-September.
