Ashland Food Co-op Signs Contract to Purchase Property

The Ashland Food Co-op expects to soon complete the purchase of an undeveloped lot at 120 Clear Creek Drive in Ashland. The parcel is located directly behind Ashland Lumber. This purchase is a major step in the Co-op’s vision for growing its downtown presence.

For a number of years, the Co-op has been actively engaged in exploring solutions to address limited store capacity and parking. Co-op leaders believe this property has the potential to address  future needs. According to Board President Ed Claassen,“The scarcity of lots this large in the downtown core makes it an attractive investment for the future.”

Claassen said, “By purchasing this property we have secured our option to develop it in the future, as we continue to explore the best way to meet the needs of our shoppers.”

The zoning of this property will allow the Co-op to develop not only a larger store, with significant parking, but potentially workforce and/or cooperative housing on the site.
