Title: Revived plans for Vilano Beach town center
Post by: reednavy on February 19, 2010, 11:43:53 AM
Saw this in the paper this morning and overall sounds good. Probably a small piece of an overall larger plan.

"The proposal for a town center in Vilano Beach is back, a couple of years after a bigger plan died, the victim of the sour economy.

The new plan calls for a grocery store and two small buildings for retail space. The town center will be south of the east end of the Usina Bridge, the same location of the original proposal."

It sounded a lot better and bigger than it looks. I think it is a dream waiting to happen. Good luck to them.

It should still be a small part of a master plan.  From what I understand, the town of Vilano has put a lot of time and effort into planning this.  If they stick to the plan it will look great.
