The Journal-News has since learned that Bass Pro Outdoor World LLC purchased nearly 22 acres at 5992 Allen Road from Duke Realty Ohio for $6.53 million. The deal closed at the end of November, according to property records from the Butler County Auditor’s Office.
The property is a half-mile from the Ikea in West Chester Twp.
Plans are being considered to extend Civic Centre Boulevard from The Streets of West Chester shopping area to the Bass Pro site.
“If the Bass Pro Shops project is built as speculated and at the inferred location, the township would be willing to use tax increment financing to construct the extension of Civic Centre Boulevard to Allen Road for a destination specialty retailer,” said Judi Boyko, township administrator, in a statement.
