The developers that were looking to turn the former Vandalia Kroger building into storage facilities are no longer interested in the location.
Near the end of Monday’s Vandalia City Council meeting, Alderman Mike Hobler asked for an update on the situation. City Administrator LaTisha Paslay says they are no longer interested in pursuing the location.
The matter has been discussed for quite a few months by the City Council with developers Chase Alcorn and Bobby Berenneisen appearing before the City Council to discuss their idea for the property, which was turn the property into 110 to 115 storage units in a climate controlled building. The matter was eventually referred off to the Planning Commission as re-zoning was needed to allow a storage facility at that location. When the matter came back to the City Council, the change was voted down by the City Council because they were informed there was no contract in place with the current property owner. The Kroger building has remained vacant since 2005.
