Shen council demands info on Sac 'N Save project

(Shenandoah) -- At least one Shenandoah City Council member wants answers regarding the status of the proposed Sac 'N Save housing project. Back in June, the council by a 3-2 vote granted a 90-day extension to Kindra and Michael Weston, developers of the property at 301 West Sheridan Avenue. Council members granted the extension, with stipulations that the Westons work with City Attorney Mahlon Sorensen on possible contract ownership, and for the couple and Origin Group officials to present a financial plan to the council following the 90-day period. Council members then tabled a decision on an extension in September. During Tuesday night's regular council meeting, Councilman Richard Jones asked why no update has been given on the project, save for a letter from Kindra Weston which he says lacked specifics. Jones expressed concerns that the project was dragging, and believes the council deserves an update.
