MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - An Aldi grocer is coming to Meridian Township.

The store will be built across the street from Culvers, in front of the Meridian Historical Village.

Associate Planner Peter Menser says that the project is underway,

"They're out doing land clearing and grading right now, putting in the utilities," said Menser.

Menser says that the project's foundation should be put in shortly.

The project is set up to look like one big development, which includes an apartment complex. From the road, it will look like one building, but it is two separate buildings.

This project is a mixed-use permit and is expected to be completed sometime next year.
