As previously reported, the residential building will include 11 units, a storefront and space for an unspecified community facility on this long-vacant corner. (A gas station was the last tenant here in the 1980s.)

    Hey, 4:30pm that's a fine issue to focus on but not what is going on here. This is a long vacant lot so any additional housing here is a net positive.
