I guess I can understand, somewhat, seeing as how the economy fell through the floor after all the land was cleared.

Part of it also is you have to sell the sustainable profitability of a facility that size in Ruston, in this economy, to be awarded a franchise license from the brand you are after. It's that money I'm talking about, not necessarily investment money. Plus, certain brands require other certain brands..such as particular restaurants...to be very close by. Deals like this one are complex, take time, and a bit of luck.

They are waiting for Tech to break ground on the SEZ complex before proceeding.

I also see construction started at the corner of Hwy. 33 and Frazier Road. Is that a mental health facility? That's what was reported on here at one time, but then supposedly they ran into a bump in the road.

They will have to re-clear the land by then. It will be full of huge trees.

No, one location is moving.

More than likely the one on West California is moving to that location.

Does anyone know who bought the Sears building on East Georgia and what is going there?
Re: Peanut Buckets Coming to DAWGTOWN
Ate at Portico-Ruston after the MBB game Saturday night. First time I've tried the Ruston location.
Food was average at best. Good service, but not very clean. I won't go back.

Has anyone else heard that an Italian restaurant is going in where Bistro 102 was?

Haven't heard, but that sounds about right. Seems the only things people want to put in Ruston are things we already have (e.g., Mexican, Italian).
