For those who were wondering what was going on near the old Tops store in the city of Dunkirk earlier this week, answers were provided just before the recent Dunkirk City Council meeting this week.
Dunkirk City Law Enforcement Officer Ryan Moeller said in a text message that the current construction work is for the entrance of a future Five Below store to open in town. Dunkirk city deputy secretary Kyle Coughlin acknowledged the suspicions of various board members when prompted to deliver Mr Moorer’s message before the meeting.
