A potential Walgreens in St Johns - meeting on March 10th
There is still some serious talk about a new Walgreens drug store coming to the heart of downtown St. Johns. You can hear the developer's site plans and voice your opinion at the upcoming St. Johns neighborhood meeting on March 10th. Meeting begins at 7pm at the Community Center on 8427 N. Central. As you can imagine, many residents are resistant to the idea. However, there are some voices as well that welcome a new development.
Some issues of concern: There are already two drug stores (Fred Meyer and Safeway), traffic jams at the intersection and late night lighting.
There are also positives: Accessibility for older residents, increased business and attention for St. Johns and a drug store that doesn't sell alcohol.
Talk to us about how you feel here on our blog. Also check out the St. Johns Sentinel paper for further discussion.
