A Winchester, Tenn., law firm said in early 2014 that it planned to remake a former North Shore grocery store into offices, but more than two years later work is still ongoing and months from completion.
Floyd Davis of the Davis, Kessler and Davis law firm cited city inspections as slowing down the renovation of the former Pruett’s store on Cherokee Boulevard near Manning Street.
“It took a long time to make the city happy,” Davis said last week, adding that it “has to inspect every nail.”
A Winchester, Tenn., law firm announced plans more than two years ago to turn a former Pruett’s grocery store building on Cherokee Boulevard into offices.But the head of the city’s Land Development Office took issue with such claims, denying that the inspections process has slowed work on the building.
“I wouldn’t agree with that at all,” said Gary Hilbert, who directs the office that conducts the inspections.
