Small Town Character
Preserving & Enhancing Small Town Character
Once a town of “500 happy people and a few sore heads,” Keenesburg has grown from its early start as a small train depot and agricultural community to a town that is ripe for growth. If you ask some stalwart residents, they might remember a time when Keenesburg had several restaurants, two newspaper companies, a sporting goods store, dealerships for agriculture equipment and a great pharmacy. With regional change on the horizon, it is time for Keenesburg to bring back aspects that made our community great.
Set amidst peaceful rural surroundings, this formerly quiet agricultural town is on the cusp of a transformative change. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Intermodal Logistics Center will catalyze a substantial surge in population and traffic, consequently driving up the demand for housing. This rise in population and job growth will further exacerbate an already existing shortage of healthcare facilities and local retail establishments.
While we acknowledge that many residents are concerned with the impacts of growth and change, Homeplace is being planned to reflect Keenesburg’s rural character while accommodating existing residents and new community members who want to live in our wonderful town. The community will include a mix of residential neighborhoods and housing types, retail, commercial, government and small scaled industrial development. Integrated within this balanced mix of uses will be a variety of parks and open spaces, connected by a series of walking and biking trails. All designed around putting people first.

Quality of Life
This project aims to enhance resident's quality of life. Key features include civic facilities, such as a library, community center, and parks and trails that will promote cultural exchange and social interaction. The cornerstone of this development will be providing robust health care options with medical facilities and services for assisted living for the elderly and daycare for young families.
Homeplace: A Mixed Use Community
Our main goal with this exciting new development is to significantly improve the quality of life for both residents and visitors. To make this happen, we are working hard to bring in a variety of economic opportunities that cater to a wide array of needs and interests. For example, we are planning to attract a grocer, so people can have more options when purchasing fresh produce and everyday essentials. We are envisioning additional healthcare services like an urgent care, spaces for more primary care, dental and vision doctors offices too. Adding a distillery or friendly bar will create a lively social hub for community gatherings and entertainment. We are dedicated to supporting local entrepreneurs as well by providing retail units specifically designed for small businesses, like a daycare, which will help create a thriving and dynamic local economy. We truly believe that by offering diverse amenities, an inclusive and enriching environment is created that positively impacts the lives of everyone involved in Keenesburg.
