@carmenwinona @MOFFITW 2/2 We do have store design/financial projections in place. We hired a terrific GM with 22+ years' exp managing co-ops (excited enough about project to move across country); TIF app is in. And capital campaign is open to raise final funds that pay for last design items/constr.

@MOFFITW @ChicagoMkt No answer, sadly!

Yikes indeed! We had high hopes for the @ChicagoMkt but the endless delays and lack of a timeline have killed our buzz for sure. Anyone have any insight on what's going on with that project?

@carmenwinona @MOFFITW 1/2 Hear you on the progress. Co-ops take 8-10 years from idea to open and we're right on track with that. Because we're owned, funded and built by individuals in the community, things take time. There are no deep pockets that accelerate things.

Open House every Sunday during our capital campaign, Build a Better Market. Come learn about investing in a better grocery store that prioritizes sustainability, transparency, and community economic impact. This week too: Mini Book Sale Sept 26, 11am-3pm ow.ly/Vtbw50Gg5Pk

@carmenwinona Pt 2: Bank and TIF are part of our funding package, but Owners and the community need to participate too - that's how opening a co-op works!
