Kansas City Commissioners Consider Reviving MERC Co-op with Santa Fe Grocers Deal
Kansas City leaders are set to vote on a letter of intent with Santa Fe Grocers to revive the old MERC Co-op grocery spot. The new team seeks $150,000 for building fixes and a full year of free rent. The deal was unanimously approved by the Economic Development and Finance Committee, but commissioners raised concerns about the free rent year and the stores past performance. The grocer founder defends the rent break as a standard move for big changes, aiming to stabilize the store and cover its own costs. If approved, the deal will allow the grocer to start gathering materials immediately, but a final agreement is still needed to ensure fresh food returns to downtown.
