The truth about Costco + New medical campus and daycare coming to Indian Land
January 10, 2023
Happy New Year from UnTap Indian Land!
Today we are excited to share some updates to the long-standing rumor that Costco is coming to Indian Land. See feature story below. We are also excited to share details on Cross Creek’s second phase and a new bottle shop in the area.
Lancaster County continues in phase two of the UDO update with two public meetings on January 11th. The UDO Stakeholder Committee will meet at 12 p.m. in the Lancaster County Council Chamber and at 4 p.m., the County Council Committee of the Whole will meet with the Planning Commission. A UDO is a document in which traditional zoning and subdivision regulations are combined with other desired city regulations, such as design guidelines and water management, into a single document. It serves as a local policy instrument and we need it sooner rather than later. The current UDO is from 2016.

Ok neighbors, here are the facts about Costco Wholesale coming to Indian Land. Costco’s arrival has been a myth for quite a while now. It has been part of what we call, “The Big Three.” At least twice a year a post will pop up on social media with hearsay that either Costco, Target, or Trader Joe’s are coming to the area. We finally have news on Costco.
