The owners of the vacant land at DeBaliviere and DeGiverville have been trying to interest Walgreen’s (again, again) in moving to this location.
They have assured nearby residents that the store would have limited hours and no liquor sales whatsoever.
The owners, Walgreen’s and the Council would have to enter into a legally binding agreement to these and other conditions if there were to be support for the development. Even under these circumstances, sentiment is very mixed. At the same time, Bistate has expressed interest in the land for a parking lot and eventually a multistory parking facility. More to come on this ….
