| Whitney Plaza |
As part of Whitney Benefits
dedication to building our community, the infrastructure of Whitney
Plaza was completed just east of downtown Sheridan on the historic
parade grounds, between Grinnell Avenue and Brundage Street in November
2008. This previous industrial area is now a growing development that
will combine retail, office, live/work and residential uses, all within
our beautiful Sheridan downtown setting. Whitney Benefits extended the
trail system throughout the development, planted trees to provide shade
along the paths, and installed park benches and bicycle racks to
encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel. A plat map, as shown below, is available for download and review as a PDF file. For information about real estate opportunities, please visit WhitneyPlaza.org.

| |  CONSTRUCTION COMPLETED ON NEWEST BUILDING AT WHITNEY PLAZA
The
newest building at Whitney Plaza was constructed in Block 2 by
Greg and Kristi Von Krosigk. The first of the Live/Work concepts
is a traditional looking brick building featuring many of the
designs of historic downtown Sheridan. This three-story building
at 145 North Connor Street will house Whitney Benefits as the ground
floor tenant, office space on the second floor, and offices and a
private residence on the third floor. Construction was completed in early 2010.
WHITNEY PLAZA HOSTS WYOMING REHAB HOOP JAM
Whitney
Plaza hosted the 9th Annual Wyoming Rehab Hoop Jam. This three on
three basketball tournament was played by 186 teams from all across
Wyoming & Montana. Players aged from 7 to 50+. The
event was a fun-filled weekend for families and the community, and the
ample parking lots at Whitney Plaza and the trail along Big Goose Creek
provided wonderful areas to view the continuous action.  The
majority of the funds raised by this event go to the athletic training
program at Sheridan High School. Hoop Jam is managed by a
volunteer base, and this year over 100 volunteers helped make it even
better at the new site.
ALGER PATHWAY PROJECT COMPLETED
The
City pathway system now flows continually from Kendrick Park through
Whitney Commons past the Whitney Center on East Alger Street and
Broadway to the trail along the levee on Big Goose Creek. Whitney
Benefits completed construction of a stretch of the trail from the
levee to the Whitney Center in 2008 as part of the Whitney Plaza PUD.
Whitney also installed park benches and planted ten trees along
the trail that will provide shade in the years to come. Over the
past six years, Whitney Benefits has planted 156 new trees. The
City is installing a crosswalk and light at East Alger and Broadway to
increase safety for pedestrians and bicyclists using the trail. | |
