The corner of East Saginaw and Hartel Road in
Grand Ledge has been a busy place over the last year and a half. In that time, four buildings have been demolished, three new have been built in a nearby location and a third is now underway on the corner where the former buildings stood.
Among the demolished buildings were a
Subway restaurant and a
Baryames Cleaners, both of which have rebuilt in adjacent and across-the street properties, respectively. The big project now under construction will be a 13,650 square foot
Walgreens Pharmacy, which will take over the footprint of all the former buildings.
“It’s been great,” says
Grand Ledge Zoning Administrator Susan Stachowiak of the rash of development. “Subway is up and running, Baryames is up and running, and so is
Carquest to the east.”
While Stachowiak isn’t aware of the projected opening date of the new Walgreens, she says it will likely be relatively soon.
“They’re making great progress over there,” she says of the builders.
The Walgreens property is owned by
Anchor Properties, headquartered in Covington, KY.
