Plans are in the works for the city of Two Rivers to get a Culver’s Restaurant in the downtown area.
City Manager Greg Buckley tells SeehaferNews.com that a developer has requested a TIF district grant for the estimated $3 million project. He said that Aaron Abt is requesting to “acquire six properties at the southwest corner of Washington and 22nd to redevelop that corner with a new Culver’s Restaurant.
Abt currently owns a franchise in Galena Illinois and recently purchased the Sturgeon Bay Culver’s as well.
Abt is asking for the assistance of up to $500,000 dollars, including $200,000 upfront, to be paid over a 20 year period from the proposed TIF.
The City Manager explains the proposed Tax Incremental Finance District #13 is expected to be up for a public hearing in January followed by final action from the Council & TIF Review Board.
Construction on the new Culver’s would then begin in 2020.
Meanwhile, Dollar General’s newest store at 3022 Mishicot Road in Two Rivers is now open.
It was announced today in a news release that the new store’s official grand opening is this Saturday at 8 am with free prizes and special deals.
Dan Nieser, Dollar General’s senior vice-president of real estate & store development, said quote, “Dollar General is committed to delivering a pleasant shopping experience that includes a convenient location, a wide assortment of merchandise and great prices on quality products.”
