It looks like Blanchard filed the demolition permit in 2022 some time. Still not issued, and no actual construction permits, at least yet.
I also noticed that some crews painted all the plywood hoarding on the buildings facing Gore Park black yesterday.
With Blanshard's other lot across the street seeming like it's being prepped to operate as a commercial lot, some (minor) movement on site, and actual permit applications - could this actually be happening?
