Second Street N.E. This site accommodated the meat packing building
for Red Owl. Currently this building is ,vacant. Super Valu has had
the building for sale, but does not want to sell the vacant land to

the building is used to store snow in the winter for Super Value

west part of the site that will be retained by Super Valu was never
part of the meat processing facility.

will not be changed.
