Suburban Plaza Permit Updates

Neighbors,

I’m pleased to report that Selig and Walmart have now received all needed permits (land disturbance, demolition, and building) for Suburban Plaza’s redevelopment. Demolition and construction are slated to begin in early 2013.

The cross-neighborhoods committee continues to meet regularly with the Selig folks. We do not have a plans update scheduled for December. For all official Suburban Plaza information, visit MANA’s site: http://www.medlockpark.org/search/label/Suburban%20Plaza

Sincerely,

Deanne Thomas
Decatur Heights neighbor and cross-neighborhoods committee member
