Plans for Albertson's Grocery may already be in the Cape Girardeau
Division of Inspection Services office at 401 Independence Street.
Preliminary plans were expected to arrive here over the weekend.
Plans for the 57,560 square foot one level building to house Albertson's Grocery
have already been placed out for bids by the Dodge Report, a McGraw Hill Companies, Inc.
publication for the construction industry.
The report, issued March 3, calls for bidding on the project in
early May with a construction start in early June, with a target completion date of
January 2001.
Final plans for the building to be constructed near the
Kingshighway and Independence intersection are expected to be ready in May.
The real estate transaction for more than seven acres was completed
in September of last year by Lorimont Place, Ltd, Realtor.
The property includes the former Wolohan Lumber property - 4.68
acres - and Pollack property, a vacant 2.7-acre site that previously housed a salvage
operation.
The preliminary site plan for the retail re-development of the
properties had been presented to the city last year on behalf of Albertson's, and the
latest invitation for bids by the Dodge Reports, indicates that Albertson's is ready to
move forward on this multi-million dollar project.
Albertson's Grocery has more than 2,400 stores in 38 states with
sales of more than $16 billion.
The new Albertson's at Cape Girardeau will provide an estimated 150
new jobs.
