He meant to say Prairie City

What are some of the new developments in and around Polk City, and who is behind it?
Since 2012, IGII has formed or bought into many projects and initiatives in Polk City. When we purchase land or buildings, our goal is always to make improvements that help the town’s appearance as well as help grow our investments. Other various eye sores around the town have been demolished and the space made available for new buildings and homes.
Some of our investments are considered high-risk (such as investing in the Big Creek Technology Campus and the re-visualization of the former Broken Arrow Building), while others are low-risk and not meant for a direct return on investment (such as the refurbished Polk City Square Playground).
What is this new building on the Square?
The “new” building ~ which is actually a refurbishing of the facility formerly known as the “Broken Arrow” ~ is the most visible of our current projects. This new facility will serve as a business hub on the corner of the Polk City Square.
Concept of this new building.
The new structure was conceived as a corner-anchor of the Square, leasing office space to a variety of businesses. The facility will feature private office suites, a reception area, and a centrally-situated shared conference room. The exterior features a large courtyard facing the Square, and will be open to the public.
Why did you knock down the original building?
There have been some questions as to why it was necessary to demolish the old east-facing concrete-block building. The answer is: 1), it was structurally unsound, and 2) it had become a bit of an eyesore.
In keeping the west-facing part of the structure, we hoped to retain a bit of the history of the original structure while creating a new, modern façade facing the Square. There is an old saying: “
You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” However, that is exactly the challenge IGII thrives upon, meaning we take great pride in our ability to improve existing business and to create new business opportunities.....
