PROJECT 107

Project 107 is a community-rooted initiative focused on one clear goal: Opening a new, locally anchored grocery store along the Glenwood corridor.

For years, this area has had limited access to quality, affordable, and culturally relevant grocery options. Many families rely on distant stores, convenience shops, or overpriced alternatives for basic food needs.

Project 107 exists to change that.

Instead of broad redevelopment with unclear outcomes, this project is centered on something practical, necessary, and impactful: A grocery store the community can actually use.

Project 107 is a long term effort to improve underused parts of the Glenwood Road corridor. Led by a former area resident, but built with neighbors and paced to avoid harm. Project 107 grew out of firsthand experience living in the community and seeing both the challenges and the unrealized potential. This project is taking a careful, phased approach to avoid rushed decisions.

Phase One is meant to prove that a locally informed disciplined redevelopment effort can improve conditions around vacant and underused properties along Glenwood Road without rushing change or ignoring the community.

WHY A GROCERY STORE

Food access isn’t just about convenience, it affects health, finances, and daily life.

When neighborhoods lack reliable grocery options:

• Families spend more on transportation
• Fresh food becomes harder to find
• Health outcomes suffer
• Local money leaves the community

A grocery store does more than sell food.

It creates jobs.
It anchors the area.
It keeps dollars local.
It supports nearby businesses.

Project 107 is about bringing those benefits directly to Glenwood.
