Filling the vacant former Big Lots space in Creekside Shopping Center
Summary
The Creekside Shopping Center has had an empty anchor-sized space for about two years, and some residents are frustrated that the first tenant to emerge is a Goodwill rather than a different type of business. The commission noted the city can't dictate tenants on privately owned property but can review what's proposed under the zoning.
