Any word on what is going up at the old all-metal cafe on Firetower next to Sam Jones? It used to have a "Marabella's coming soon" sign but that was there for like two years. Are they still building there or is this something else. It does appear to be food as the new brick building looks to have a drive-thru.
It is Marabella's, the last I heard is that they are opening sometime this spring.

GREENVILLE, NC (WITN) The U.S. Department of Transportation Small Community Air Service Development Program has awarded a grant to Pitt-Greenville Airport to support funding for twice daily service to a second major airport hub on the East Coast.
Republican U.S. Senator Thom Tillis and Third District Republican Congressman Greg Murphy announced the $750,000 grant Wednesday.
Senator Tillis says he directly advocated for the grant on behalf of the Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority, including sending a letter to Secretary Elaine Chao in July 2019 asking for her support. USDOT's Small Community Air Service Development Program is a grant program designed to help small communities address air service and airfare issues.
Tillis says, "This $750,000 grant will be used to promote increased travel options for North Carolinians and generate additional economic activity in the community. I am proud I was able to advocate for this critical funding and look forward to the development it will bring."
Congressman Murphy says, "Just recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with several staff members from Pitt-Greenville Airport to learn more about their needs. I am glad they can take action to improve their facility as a result of this funding and look forward to seeing the finished result of the service improvements."
At this time it's not known what the additional service is or to what airport.
This is good news. Slowly but surely addressing the disparate requires to grow and attract business and industry. Better air and interstate connectivity, a developing city center, etc. Keeping chopping wood!

Great news indeed. Such a waste the airport is right now only flying to Charlotte.
