PROSPECT REDEVELOPMENT
More than a year ago the City Council made a rushed decision to approve about $20 million in Prospect Avenue redevelopment, and a recent post on the Santee Review blog describes the city moving forward with the project. They would like to begin construction in 2014.
The blog describes what the intent of the project is:
"The intent is to create a 'red carpet' for business expansion along this important commercial corridor along Santee’s southern border with Gillespie Field."

A meeting is scheduled for sometime in June, we'll let you know when a date is set.
