Work begins on Avalon Vons project

What Happened: Avalon City Hall announced work on the city’s new Vons market is officially underway. Existing structures and objects on the site where the new Vons would be built are being cleared, according to Avalon City Manager David Jinkens.

The city of Avalon has been looking to consolidate its two Vons locations into a larger building for quite some time. City officials, as recently as July, wondered about the project’s timeline.

What’s On Tap: “Every effort is being made to ensure that minimum disruption to the community occurs, but there will be some inconveniences,” Jinkens stated in his bi-weekly management update. “The project is expected to be ‘substantially completed’ by December 2018. Questions or concerns about the project should be directed to Planning Director Amanda Cook.”
