It doesn’t seem like this project is dead. I just watched a portion of the city planning commission from March 23rd. They got approval for signage similar to other buildings in the Uptown area.

This was posted today. They’re saying that the Field St District could start this year. I highly doubt it, but I thought I should share.

Chime occupying mall space is interesting...I'd rather see redevelopment than repurposing of malls though. A portion of it was torn down. I believe they did a study and it recommended not to completely teardown the mall. I guess, so portions of it can be converted to other uses. Basically, like we’...

I'm all for the grocery store. Just not the incentives. TBH I typically wouldn’t be in support of it either. But since there’s a need for better options in the area, I’m more supportive of it.

I’m so incredibly disappointed with that. That was suppose to help support the redevelopment efforts at RedBird. But it seems like that hasn’t slowed down redevelopment.
