On Sept. 2 the city received an application for early assistance on a five- or six-story development in place of the industrial building. The application calls for retail use on the first floor and residential on the upper stories. Roughly 40 parking spaces are proposed on the ground floor.
The application states the development would be “looking to meet community design standards,” as the property is located within a design overlay zone.
