<p>The Belleville Crossing retail development at Frank Scott Parkway and IL-15 is expanding.  At more than 375,000 square feet, the center, anchored by big-box retailers Target and Home Depot, recently welcomed Dollar Tree and Radio Shack to its family of tenants.  Both tenant build-outs were completed by Fairview Heights-based IMPACT Strategies, also the general contractor for Phase I and several out-buildings located within the development.  This month, IMPACT is preparing the tenant build-out for Sally Beauty Supply, Game Stop, and GNC as well as initiating construction of Building "A", the first in Phase II of the development.</p>
<p>Building "A" of Phase II will have approximately 2,750 square feet of retail space available upon completion in mid-summer 2010.  The building will be located directly east of Phase I along Belleville Crossing Street and is expected to be a catalyst for more development in Phase II.</p>
<p>Impact Strategies President Mark Hinrichs states, "DESCO has done a wonderful job in promoting this center during a difficult time and it's certainly positive to see the continual interest by national retailers to move into this development despite the economy.  The limited remaining tenant space in Phase I and the start-up of Phase II during these tough times is a testament to the project, its developers and the community."</p>
