38 2024 SHELDON COMMUNITY GUIDE
HIGHWAY 60 DEVELOPMENT The community of Sheldon was at a crossroads when the Iowa Department of Transportation announced it would bypass the city to build the new Highway 60 expressway. The community had to make a decision — embrace the bypass or fear that it would lead to the eventual disappearance of downtown Sheldon. With vision and foresight, the community chose to look at the bypass as opportunity. That attitude allowed an atmosphere of opportunity to settle in and the city has grown. The Runger Addition was started first north of Highway 18 and west of Highway 60. The development area, consisting of mostly commercial businesses such as Pizza Ranch, Neal Chase Lumber and a strip mall Sheldon Crossroads Court that contains Los Tulipanes Mexican Restaurant, North Star Community Credit Union, Sheldon Nails & Spa, Professional Ag Marketing and Edward Jones — Dan Drescher’s office. The city then began developing Sheldon Crossing, a commercial area located south of Highway 18 and west of Highway 60. Sheldon Plaza/McDonald’s, Holiday Inn Express, Taco John’s and Crossroads Pavilion Event Center have located there so far. The east side of the Highway 60 expressway has blossomed over the years and is proving to be a wise investment by the City of Sheldon and Sheldon Chamber and Development Corporation to acquire ground around the crossroads of Highway 18 and Highway 60. Crossroads Industrial Park, a heavy industrial area opened in 2013 on the east side of the Highway 60 expressway and south of Highway 18. The approximately 70-acre development site welcomed Ziegler Cat, based in Minneapolis, as the first occupant. White Wolf Web, an offset commercial printing plant, rebuilt in its new location after a fire destroyed the company’s original structure in June 2013. Additionally, Fred’s Plumbing & Heating built a location in Sheldon in 2016. In 2017, Bomgaars opened a new 32,000-square-foot facility just to the east of Ziegler Cat. It also marked the opening of The Crossroads Pavilion Event Center and North Star Community Credit Union. 2018 saw a number of starts that will come to fruition in the future. They announced plans for Coop Gas & Oil to build a Travel Plaza in Sheldon Crossing. The Travel Plaza opened in November 2020 and the truck shop also holds a Godfather’s Pizza Express. In March 2021, a Jimmy John’s opened in the Travel Plaza. Infrastructure improvements are underway in Sheldon Crossroads North Business Park as the road is being extended to open up acres of prime commercial ground located at the intersection of Highway 18 and 60. Chinese Chef opened its drive-thru near Sheldon Crossing with more buildings planned to go around the restaurant. Impressions Salon also relocated to start 2023 across from Sheldon Crossing. A 1-mile loop around the pond behind the Pavilion was completed and accessible to the community in 2023. It connect with the current Sheldon Recreational Trail Near Sheldon Crossing they completed Cobblestone Inn & Suites Hotel which has 40 rooms. This is next to Crossroads Pavilion and Holiday Inn Express.
