Commercial Properties (vacancies, new businesses, etc.): <\/strong><\/p>\n

Goodwill Industries site (formerly Oja Lumber)<\/u>:\u00a0 Exterior construction seems to be mostly complete \u2013 roof is up; entire building is painted; windows & awnings are in; some roof and siding work still to be completed. \u00a0Focus seems to be turning to the interior now.\u00a0 Out building seems to be slightly behind the main building as far as the exterior goes.<\/p>\n

[Goodwill Industries projects a December 2016 completion date for both the new Goodwill building and the additional 4,000 square foot retail building.\u00a0 The retail building has not pre-leased to anyone yet as far as I know \u2013 still 100% available.]<\/p>\n

\"winter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Timberline Meats (formerly Gifts of Past and Present)<\/u>: \u00a0Construction is beginning very soon on this project \u2013 plans for the exterior are complete, but the owner is having difficulty finding contractors to do some of the work, as local trade contractors seem to have more business than they know what to do with.\u00a0 Plans for the interior are still \u201cin progress\u201d, but the basic layout is fairly simple and shouldn\u2019t change.\u00a0 Owner is anticipating a spring opening if everything goes smoothly, and he is very optimistic about this business model and its potential for success.<\/p>\n

La Bamba \u201cNuevo\u201d<\/u>:\u00a0 Work continues on both interior and exterior of the building, moving toward what the owner hopes will be a spring grand opening.<\/p>\n

Carlson property<\/u>:\u00a0 Still under construction. \u00a0Utilities are (mostly) installed but have not completed a final inspection yet. \u00a0Looks like project completion in the spring is likely.<\/p>\n

Scooter\u2019s Sports Bar & Restaurant (Sandy Marketplace)<\/u>:\u00a0 Mr. Detweiler is set to receive the keys to the unit early in January now.\u00a0 According to him, most of what he is planning should not require permits (solely an interior remodel) and should not take long to do, but he plans to come into City Hall after key acquisition and chat with us about his plans to confirm that he is doing everything correctly.\u00a0 I believe he is still shooting for a February 2017 grand opening.<\/p>\n

Jody Argue building (former Riegelman\u2019s site)<\/u>:\u00a0 I am happy to announce that Ms. Argue has signed a lease agreement for the back of her building.\u00a0 Lil\u2019 Cubs Pre School (the pre-school of choice for a number of city staffers) is the business in question, and they would like to occupy the space and open for business in January of 2017. \u00a0\u00a0This deal solves a number of issues for both parties, and they both seem to be very happy with the terms.<\/p>\n
