Sturgis municipal officials anticipate a busy year with the opening of a number of new businesses.
None bigger than the Watershed project, a large-scale commercial-residential development started earlier in 2023 and well underway in downtown Sturgis.
The first floor is planned to be a steakhouse, with the second through fifth floors to be studio, one- and two-bedroom residences.
The project is set for completion in July.
Other new businesses set to open in 2024 include Middle Eastern restaurant Shawarma Station, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Jimmy John’s, Aspen Dental, Ace Hardware, and a second Cottin’s Hardware location featuring lumber.
