Amador County – The new Walgreens store in Sutter Creek is expected to open on August 25, according to city officials. This announcement, along with news that a Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market store is proposed for the same complex, was made during the Sutter Creek City Council meeting last week. Both stores will sit within the Sutter Creek Crossroads complex at the corner of Highway 49 and Ridge Road. Construction on Walgreens began last June after the Petrovich Development Company received final approval to go forward with the project. Shortly before that time, the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) board of directors approved an agreement between Sutter Creek and the Petrovich Development Company that paved the way for project construction. The agreement allowed Petrovich to pay a Regional Traffic Mitigation Fee of $1,200 to ACTC. Sutter Creek Assistant City Manager Sean Rabe said at the time that the total reduction of fees was $88,000 dollars. The agreement includes rights-of-way, frontage improvements and fee credits. The right-of-way is required for the highway and intersection expansions which were determined to be needed by a Traffic Impact Study. The center’s construction came in stops and starts over the course of the next year, culminating in a flurry of construction activity last month that looked to have put the finishing touches on the parking lot and the Walgreens building. Rabe said he expects the store to bring additional funding to the cash-strapped city, although how much is yet to be determined. News of the proposed Fresh and Easy store opening came two weeks after the El Segundo-based grocery chain said it plans to open 9 California stores in September. The company expects to hire more than 180 employees for these new stores. Fresh and Easy stores are known to be environmentally friendly and typically use 30 percent less energy than a typical supermarket. They feature wholesome, fresh prepared meals, meats and produce. The city last week agreed to amend an agreement with Petrovich Development that will pave the way for construction of the Fresh and Easy store during phase 1 of the company’s project, and to postpone an asphalt overlay on Bowers Drive.
