I think its next door the old shakalaka location..

I've been to that Meijer before. There's nothing special about it except it's "not Walmart."

I'd be more interested if Safeway or H-E-B were to land here, although that's about as likely as us getting the south's first In-N-Out!

As posted earlier, the new city hall construction process is to begin any day now. The first step is to demolish the current city parking garage. The new city hall will sit on that site and a larger garage will be built adjacent south of the building.

The current City Hall building was built in 1963, the 61,000 square foot facility has multiple problems according to Wilkinson. He provided this list during the meeting:

• Inadequate structural integrity (seismic codes)
• Code updates (ADA, building, fire, etc.)
• Façade issues (marble cracking, separating from the building, sealant failure)
• Lack of available space (inefficient layout, less than 50% of space needed)
• Electrical service (parts obsolete)
• Elevator serviceability (parts obsolete)
• Major mechanical systems (end of useful life)
• Building leaks (façade and roof)

The current 512-space parking deck, built in 1965, also has issues requiring attention, such as poor structural integrity, code updates, electrical service and elevator serviceability.

The new seven-story municipal building will span 170,000 square feet and serve 365 employees. They expect the structure to start going up in mid-2022 and will take about two years to complete.

The new adjoining parking deck will provide 568 spots, with the first floor designed for the public and the remaining six floors reserved for City use. Employees who use the current garage will park at other City-owned properties while work on the new City Hall is ongoing.

It must've been two or three years since that project was first announced. I'd forgotten about it.

Is it across Bradford from the new school on the north side?
