GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro's city council will vote Tuesday on whether to bring Lidl grocery store to the city.
The measure would approve selling the property located at 734 S. Elm St. Lidl would pay $1.4 million for the spot.
The Redevelopment Commission of Greensboro currently owns the property. The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines this area as a food desert.
The USDA defines food deserts as "low-income census tracts with a substantial number or share of residents with low levels of access to retail outlets selling healthy and affordable foods."
The grocery store would be between 25,000-36,000 square feet.
In addition to a grocery store, the deal also includes at least 100 parking spaces.
The South Elm Street Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the city council in February 2006.
The Redevelopment Commission executed a master development agreement with the South Elm Development Group in June 2013 to help bring in developers and companies to the area.
