Unofficial groundbreaking takes place on East San Marco site
Posted on February 3, 2021 By Editor Neighborhood News, San Jose, San Marco, St. Nicholas, Top Stories
A collective sign of relief went through the San Marco community in January when a sign was posted on the corner of Atlantic Boulevard and Hendricks Avenue that read: Coming soon, PUBLIX.
While Eric Davidson, a spokesman for developer Regency Centers claims an official groundbreaking ceremony may be coming soon, residents found it encouraging to see heavy earthmoving equipment digging trenches on the site as workmen from Miranda Contracting readied the ground for sewer and infrastructure to be installed.
To have a grocery store so near to San Marco Square has been long desired by residents and a long time in coming. So far four separate permits for site-clearing, sewer, and driveway installation were issued in December and January. Permits for the shopping center that will include restaurants, boutiques and the long-awaited Publix have not been issued yet.. However, it is comforting the see Regency’s “Now Leasing” sign with two guaranteed tenants – Publix and Orangetheory Fitness.
