“At this point, the letters that were sent out were notifications that could have this construction,” said Daniel King, a plan review engineer with the city. Out of “an abundance of caution,” he added, officials closed several other businesses sharing the strip mall. But by Friday, snow had been shoveled off the roof and most of the shops were open for business.
Lear Green, co-owner of the restaurant, said it was closed as it usually is on Tuesdays, when the city posted the red “unsafe” notice. She was worried, because remaining closed would cost the restaurant critical business days, but staying open would risk safety of staff and customers. A family who owns a vape and smoke shop at the south end of the strip mall shoveled the roofs for all the businesses, Green said.
