Update on construction of Petworth Safeway: don't hold your breath

Plans are still moving forward, but the final product will be a long time coming. That's what representatives from Duball LLC, the developers of the mixed-use project that will replace Petworth's Sketchy Safeway, said at ANC 4C's monthly meeting last night. They're looking at a projected opening date in (at least) 2014, if not later. And in the time between demolition of the current building and construction of the new one, Petworth will be Safeway-less (though the company hopes to find a temporary space in which to locate their pharmacy during that time). Park View DC has more details from the meeting.
