Construction is well underway for a new 11,042-square-foot commercial facility located at 7344 McLaughlin Road, adjacent to the Woodmen Hills Metropolitan District lift station.The property is owned by Falcon Properties LLC, and the letter of intent submitted to El Paso County in September 2018 states that the owner plans to proceed with construction per the plans approved by the county in 2008, with minor modifications driven by changes to the proposed building.The letter of intent also states that the building will be 100 percent retail, rather than the mixed use of retail and medical spaces previously approved.Kari Parsons, planner II with the El Paso County Planning and Community Development Department, said the owners put in an application in mid-July for approval of a liquor outlet in the new space. If approved, the liquor outlet will only occupy a portion of the overall facility; no other applications for other retail businesses have been submitted, she said.
