Council paves the way for grocery store
Excelsior is on track to get a grocery store after the Excelsior City Council voted to support the project.

The approval paves the way for Minnetonka-based Oppidan Investment Co. to open a grocery store at the former Mason Motors site on Water Street.

In addition to the grocery store, Oppidan plans to build more than 10,000 square feet of retail space at 400 Water St., which is on the corner of George and Water streets.

"We're excited that we got the nod to move forward," said Joe Ryan, president of Oppidan Investment Co.

The approval for the development came after three hours of discussion at the council's May 7 meeting. The City Council approved the plans unanimously.

Plymouth votes to forgo photo ID requirement at hotels
After months of discussion on how to curtail illegal activity in hotels, the Plymouth City Council chose not to require checking photo identification for all adult hotel guests.

Instead it adopted an ordinance that makes it a misdemeanor to give false information to hotel clerks.

The majority of the council members opposed requiring hotel guests to show a photo ID after representatives from the hotel community stated it would be a burden to their staff and guests. However, the ordinance to make it a misdemeanor to give false information was passed unanimously.
