Construction next to the Clovis Recreation Center is generating curiosity.<\/p>\n

Is that a new baseball diamond being built? Softball complex? Football field?<\/p>\n

Actually, the project at the northeast corner of Clovis and Dakota avenues has nothing to do with sports or other activities held at the Clovis Rec Center.<\/p>\n

In fact, the land that the new development is being built on and isn\u2019t associated with Clovis Rec.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s being built?<\/p>\n

According to approved planning applications with the City of Clovis, the corner of Clovis and Dakota avenues will soon become a couple of things.<\/p>\n

At the direct corner next to the intersection, a Street Corner Urban Market gas station and convenience store is being built.<\/p>\n

And just behind the gas station will be a 15,300-square foot medical office building that is part of the United Health Centers of the San Joaquin Valley.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an even bigger development on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Behind the Clovis Rec Center (east of the building) is 26 acres of currently undeveloped land.<\/p>\n

According to the City of Clovis active projects viewer, that stretch of land is all expected to become part of a church.<\/p>\n

No word yet what type of church.<\/p>\n

No construction appears to have occurred yet on this neighboring side of the rec center. And it\u2019s not clear when that would begin.<\/p>\n

For now, it\u2019s simply worth noting more development is expected in the area.<\/p>\n

The project to open a Street Corner Urban Market convenience store and gas station has been in the works since 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Street Corner Urban Market touts itself as \u201cemphasizing quality, freshness, cleanliness, and value combined with forward-thinking technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

The store is expected to carry a wide range of everyday essentials.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the spotlight will be a variety of totally unique, freshly-prepared grab-and-go sandwiches, pizzas and salads,\u201d Street Corner posted on its website. \u201cAll served in a welcoming \u201cfast casual\u201d environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Urban Market further strives to fill the marketplace gap \u201cbetween large-scale grocery stores and tiny convenience stores.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, among its technological features that Street Corner Urban Market highlights is providing customers who are getting gasoline an option to order food from the gas station pump.<\/p>\n

A gas station will reportedly be built plus a new United Health Center will be built on the opposite side of the recreation center. ERIC PAUL ZAMORA ezamora@fresnobee.com <\/p>\n

It was not immediately known when the Street Corner Urban Market was expected to be completed.<\/p>\n

This will become the second Street Corner Urban Market in the Fresno area. The other location is at Campus Pointe near Shaw and Chestnut avenues.<\/p>\n

United Health Centers<\/p>\n

This will become the third United Health Centers located in Clovis, with locations already established near the intersection of Herndon and Temperances avenue, and Shaw and Peach avenues.<\/p>\n

United Health Centers<\/a>, which originated in Parlier, is a private, non-profit organization that provides medical, dental and community health services.<\/p>\n

In particular, the centers help serve the medically underserved in the central San Joaquin Valley, such as the local agricultural and farmworkers.<\/p>\n

United Health Centers has grown significantly in the past 14 years, expanding from eight health centers in 2012 to 42 locations presently around the Valley.<\/p>\n

It also was not immediately known when the Street Corner Urban Market was expected to be completed.<\/p>\n

Both the convenience store and medical offices are being developed by Legacy Stone Works.<\/p>\n
