We have a bulldozer

Now we have an ever growing mountain of dirt on site

Fire ant convention?

Lol.  The odds of that might be as good as this thing actually getting off the ground.

I've been assured by Capt Zissou that it will happen. It's the 15 year timeframe as a vacant lot that has people upset. But you should be able to pick up some groceries there within 2 years....or at least we can hope. And it will literally be "off the ground": I believe the store will sit on top of a parking garage!

It appears the land clearing efforts are now officially underway:

So are you saying the site has a clean environmental report?

[thelakelander]

The property is fenced off and that site work in the form of land clearing is underway. There is an active permit on the site. I suspect that they would have done their due diligence with getting an environmental report before acquiring the property years ago.

I expect them to find a Native American burial ground, or discover some alien crash site, or uncover a new dinosaur.

Lord knows they had long enough to figure out any environmental issues. I still won't call this complete until I buy something at the store though.

My bet is on finding the lost city of Atlantis.

I'm afraid the remaining oak trees will soon be gone.

I don't think there has ever been a use of the site that would generate environmental issues.  The eastern block was originally residences before the bank.  There may have been a gas station at the corner of Hendricks/Atlantic back in the day.
