Harvest Moon Bakery redevelopment of 505 Rogers Avenue
Fort Smith
Summary
A local bakery family is buying the long-vacant 505 Rogers building and plans a phased redevelopment: cafe first, then production space, then possibly upstairs apartments or Airbnb. They're funding it debt-free, so it'll take three to five years, and they're facing a $250,000 fire suppression hurdle and a drive-thru variance.
