Carrie and Casey discuss the vision for preserving the character of the historic property while creating a welcoming community gathering space. The episode also highlights Biggby’s plans for community involvement, grand opening events, charity partnerships, local business outreach, and their goal of becoming an active part of Wilder’s growing business community.Mayor Jones and the Williamses also talk about the city’s continued growth, the excitement surrounding the project, and the anticipated opening timeline later this year — hopefully just in time for pumpkin spice latte season.This description was generated with the assistance of AI based on the episode transcript.
