An excavator stands on the empty lot southwest of the Highway 5 roundabout in Clearwater on Saturday, April 19. Buy-Low Foods got approval from town council the previous Tuesday for a development permit to start construction of a new shopping center on the site. This basically means their proposal is in accordance with the official community plan (OCP), including a wood-water-stone natural look.
Buy-Low still needs to get a building permit but could begin doing the groundwork before then.
