FARMINGTON — CenterCal and Station Park developers are not worried about the recently announced theaters going up in Centerville because they contend the Station Park development has much more to offer.

Street lights are up and site work is continuing through the summer on the Station Park project. Workers are currently putting in a roundabout, and buildings will start to go up late this summer.

“We believe we are much better positioned with a better project and more to offer,” said CenterCal project manager Craig Trottier. The project, however, will face competition from the coming Centerville theaters, as well as the recently opened Cinemark 8 in West Bountiful.

Meanwhile, a Harmons grocery store is set to open at Station Park sometime in the early spring of 2011. Approximately 400,000 square feet of business will also open at that time. While Trottier said none of the businesses have officially announced opening, there will be sporting goods stores, clothing stores, and other shopping in the area.

“We have a very inviting atmosphere,” he said. “Not only can people come here to the movies, but they can also come have dinner, shop, and mingle every day they come.”

Station Park will feature a 15-screen megaplex, including a 70 mm XD auditorium. That is set to open in May of 2011 for the summer season.

“We are expecting them to start pulling building permits in a couple months,” said Farmington City Mayor Scott Harbertson.

There is space in the project for 130-150 businesses, plus the second phase of construction.

“That will be the village area,” said Harbertson.

Construction will continue through March on Harmons and other buildings to open 400,000 square feet of Station Park between spring and summer of 2011.
