The total construction cost has been estimated to be approximately $7,300. The plans include an upgraded LED sign and new awning
The City Council Transit-Oriented Development Committee has reviewed the proposal and determined that it meets the eligibility requirements of the Retail Re-Development and Rehabilitation Grant Program.

The Transit-Oriented Development Committee unanimously recommended approval of this grant at its December 1, 2025 meeting.
