After years of sitting vacant, there is some action at the former Pharm store on North Main Street, in Bowling Green.
The plan isn’t to renovate the site – but rather tear it down, according to Heather Sayler, planning director for the city of Bowling Green.
The owner of the old Pharm site, at 1044 N. Main St., has requested a demolition permit from the city.
Future plans for the site, just north of the Dollar Store, and south of Parkview Drive and Huntington Bank, have not been submitted to the city.
The owner of the property, Isaac Property Holding Co., of Bryan, was not available to answer questions about plans for the site.
The store has been vacant for about a decade. Prior to it being used as the Pharm, it was a FoodTown grocery store.
According to Sayler, over the years businesses have expressed interest in the building, but nothing transpired. “They never seemed to pan out,” she said. “A lot of it probably has to do with the condition of the property.”
The demolition permit is still waiting for the city’s approval.
