My apologies as my photos were kind of misleading. Yes, construction will take place in the area where the parking lot is, and yes construction is a go.
Were there actual drilling rigs on site? I do remember a couple of pieces of equipment on site about two years ago. I think a bulldozer and a backhoe, something. I don't remember seeing a drilling rig on site.
To your point Urban Warrior, yes this isn't a go until it truly it is under construction.
Agreed. The empty lot going away is a big win, and this will help the 1st street streetscape. It's a bit tall for my liking, but I'll take the retail on 1st, and the added residents.
