The removal of trees and shrubs on property bordering the junction of State Routes 19 and 34 in Hurricane has produced a formerly hidden view of the landscape. The clearing is the first step of a project by the property owner (P & L Associates) which will create 8 acres ready for commercial use. The clearing operation does not include the trees on the State Road right of way.
The 8 acres consists of three separate parcels — the former Cummings property (5 acres), the former DOH property (2 acres), and parking area behind Glad Tidings Assembly (1 acre). P&L will install a conduit for the creek, then fill and level the entire area. No completion date has been submitted to City of Hurricane officials. The project became possible last December when P&L purchased the Glad Tidings property. P&L previously acquired the Cummings property in 2024 and the DOH property from the Hurricane Development Authority in June of 2025.
