Repairs to police lodge on agenda
The City Council will vote Monday on a resolution to remodel the Fraternal Order of Police lodge that was damaged during the 2019 flood.
Western Millwright Services Inc. has agreed to remodel and renovate the building that was engulfed in 7 feet of water. The repairs are estimated to cost $74,031.85.
The resolution allows the city to move the funds from its Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Account.
Food truck court open for business
The Filling Station, the city's first food truck court, opened Friday, according to the Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The council unanimously endorsed the enterprise in February. It is at a former automobile service center at 3623 JFK Blvd. Joy Evans, the applicant for the project, said the property will have food trucks and a small enclosed patio, while a farmers market and crafts store will be inside.
"We strive to support our local community with great Food Trucks, produce and products from local artisans," The Filling Station posted on social media. "A place where everyone can gather with friends, family and pets."
Event showcases Park Hill dining
The Park Hill Business and Merchants Association is holding a "Sell Out Saturdays" event all of July.
Each Saturday this month, the organization is encouraging residents to consider dining at Park Hill restaurants.
"During this time, more than ever, we should support our local businesses who need support to thrive," the organization posted on social media. "We finally now have numerous options."
North Bar, North Bar Natural, Old Mill Pizza and The Filling Station were all places listed in the post.
