Gateway Retail Center – Lowe’s Home Improvement Project Cancellation
January 3, 2012
The City of Salinas has received notification from the owner/developer of the Gateway Retail Center, planned to be constructed at the intersection of San Juan Grade and Boronda Roads that Lowe’s Home Improvement has determined not to construct a new facility in Salinas as part of the Gateway Retail Center. This decision is consistent with Lowe’s public announcement made on October 17, 2011 to close underperforming stores and minimize the number of new store openings in 2012. The most important factor in this decision, as related by Lowe’s, is the continued unease concerning weakness in the retail sales environment on a national level.
