I don't have a lot of updates but, the Sprouts will be next to the Pet Smart and Planet Fitness. I think another club is supposed to take over the old LA Fitness spot. There's a new seafood spot with a liquor license opening just south of where LA Fitness was.

That's about all I know for now. No idea when the apartment construction is supposed to begin.

Nice, when I was grabbing a bag of dog food a week or two ago, I saw that they were getting to work on something there, so that’s awesome news. Having a better option down here for food shopping is exciting.

I hope the rest can come to fruition, as it would be such a massive improvement, but not that hopeful given market conditions.

There was a lot of pushback a couple years ago regarding what would or wouldn't go in the new Plaza. Kenyatta Johnson's office went out of his way to slow any kind of new development which, delayed the project.

Personally I dislike the suburban style layout of the whole place but, that will largely remain the same.

Have you tried the new Aldi yet? I went the weekend it opened and it was great.

The layout does suck, but I don’t know how much you can do about that without spending tons of money. I was hopeful for the target as well, as the one thing I wish we had here was a place for decent home goods that wasn’t Marshall’s.

Haven’t been to the Aldi yet as it was nuts when I went by opening weekend, but I will be heading there in the next week to check it out

Target was in the original proposal and I haven't heard of them backing out so, fingers crossed on that one. I think it's supposed to go just east of where the Shop Rite is.

They’re currently renovating a lot of it for companies as well. My friends company it about to sign a lease and relocate there.

Looks like it is going to be pretty nice.
