Show notes
I was headed down Oakland Avenue over the weekend and saw some big construction work happening on what will become a mixed-use building with retail spaces, apartments and a parking lot out back.
Built in 1925, the commercial block was on the city's demo list until the non-profit Stafford House put the project forward.
It'll have four ground-floor commercial spaces at about 1,000 square foot each. Last I could find, there'd be a coffee shop, training center, retail and offices for an engineering company.

The second floor will have 10 affordable apartments.
The project aims to be complete by the end of this year.
