I saw somewhere that both cities have committed to 300k each to cover costs.

Glad its dead, but this hulking industrial building did not lend itself to a mixed-use development. The vacant parcel is behind and cut-off from the desirable parts of the neighborhood.

Interesting that both have gaps in greening on the north side of the street between 9th & 10th. I'd take a 4' sidewalk with greenspace any day.

The idea is that you don't share the space with cars. Folks backing out of garages and trucks don't really mix well.

They should pick it up and move it back 100' onto that back parking lot to reopen the Gateway.

Yes, but individually, the architecture and composition is a mess.

Hopefully the new set of townhomes look better/ more coherent.

I lol'd at the 'Rooftop?'

Correct, a second storefront using the back of the old Sweatshop space. Then they could divide that big space for a tenant.

Yep, townhomes. They will all have their own PID, so in the future could be sold individually.
