No grocery at 800 E. Wash . . . big empty lot for tents for the homeless? 🙂 Just kidding!!!!!!!!
Subject: 800 N Block East Washington Project Statement
To: District 2 Alder, TLNA President
Alder Zellers and Joe Lusson-
After months of work and negotiation, Gebhardt Development and Metcalfe’s Market were unable to come to terms to move forward on the 800 Block East Washington project together and have amicably parted ways. Gebhardt Development will be pursuing alternate store operators for the site. Otto Gebhardt and Tim and Kevin Metcalfe would like to thank the community and Tenney-Lapham neighborhood for the support and enthusiasm given to the project. Gebhardt Development will continue to work closely with the Neighborhood and is looking forward to continued contributions to this great City.Respectfully,
Tim Metcalfe
Kevin Metcalfe
Otto Gebhardt III
I got this email clarification this morning from someone from the development team.
Just a quick clarification- We are currently working with other operators that we feel offer the equivalent experience and commitment as Metcalfe’s and intend on meeting the same construction schedule to have a full service grocery store open on the site.
