~ A new microbrewery called Hop Secret is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to move into the Station Square Transit Village.

~ A new Mediterranean restaurant, called Hummos & Pita is hoping to open in the next few months on Lemon Avenue.

~ "Dream Big Children's Center," an indoor play and exploration zone for children ages 1-10, is planning to open somewhere near Old Town.
