A vacant anchor space in a High Point, NC, shopping center will soon get new life when a national chain of primary care medical practices opens an office there, The High Point Enterprise reports.
ChenMed has leased the property with plans to open one of its subsidiaries there, Dedicated Senior Medical Center, according to the High Point Economic Development Corp.
This 17,000-square-foot space within Eastgate Shopping Center has been empty since a grocery store closed in 2018.
Headquartered in Miami, ChenMed operates nearly 100 primary care medical practices in 12 states.
The company will invest $1.7 million in upfit construction at the High Point site and create 30 jobs with an average annual salary of $90,339 within its first two years of operation, according to the EDC.
The High Point City Council today will be asked to approve a resolution in support of a $300,000 state building reuse grant for the company to assist with the improvements.
The practice will serve seniors with Medicare Advantage insurance. Read more.
