Another piece of the Centre City project has fallen into place for downtown Butler.

City zoning officer John Evans confirmed a Rite Aid pharmacy will be the retail part of the project.

The drugstore will be built at the intersection of South Main and East Cunningham streets.

It will be part of the $10 million project that will bring a 75-room Marriott Springhill Suites hotel and a three-tier parking garage to downtown.

The city redevelopment authority and the developers of the project had been working for months to land a retailer.

Evans said the 14,500 square-foot store will have a drive-through pharmacy. It also will have a 36-space parking lot that will border East Cunningham Street on both sides of South Cedar Street.

A zoning board meeting to discuss the new drugstore will be held at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 11 at city council chambers.

Developers of the Centre City project hope to break ground in October.

The first stage of construction will focus on street improvements at the site, including widening Cedar Street.

It is unclear what will happen with the current Rite Aid on Main Street. Evans said the company rents that property.

No one from Rite Aid headquarters responded to questions about the project in the city.
