What's Going On With Sussex Meijer Development?

The development of the Sussex Meijer store is one step closer but still has to jump through more approvals and permitting processes.

The Meijer development in Sussex is one step closer after a resolution was reached between Sussex and Lisbon over a certified survey map outlining property boundaries, reported the Sussex Sun.
