There has been much speculation about what will happen to the Community Store and whether it will re-open as a grocery store or something else.
Most residents seem to be sad that the store closed and hopeful that it will re-open as a grocery/general store.
As of now, no one has come forward to take over the Community Store lease, but a group of local people are exploring options to get it up and running again as a grocery store.
They want your input.
What are your thoughts about the Community Store? What should it become?
Is it worth exploring the option of a co-op grocery store?
What should it sell?
Would you be willing to come to a meeting about the future of the Community Store?
