Question: city is selling old Braden’s store? I thought they were using that property to fix traffic issue at Chalkville Rd and US 11? I must’ve missed the change memo

Brad Nelson I thought the same thing. I would love to see the process that brought us from that to selling it.

The old Braden’s store is about 5 different buildings. This looks like it is just one of those buildings adjacent to Mary’s Bouquet. The Valley Road property isn’t anywhere near Pinnacle Bank so I don’t know where that came from.
