Dallas approved $5.8 million incentives for Tom Thumb to open at RedBird
Councilmember Casey Thomas of District 3, which is just across from RedBird, said it’s time for the kinds of investments made in northern Dallas to come to southern Dallas.
Councilmember Cara Mendelsohn representing far north Dallas tallied more than $40 million in funds that the city had already devoted to RedBird. She said she would vote for the Tom Thumb store, but would not support future requests for RedBird.The incentives also require that RedBird spends at least $12 million on the building and site work and Tom Thumb’s improvements will be at least $5 million for fixtures and to finish out the building.
“Tom Thumb is where I shop,” Brodsky said. “If we came in with a lower end, discount grocer or one with limited options, the consumer wouldn’t accept it.”450 residents in the Palladium apartmentsAnga Sanders, a resident active in efforts to bring grocery stores to the southern Dallas food deserts was busy sending council members emails on Tuesday. She lives 3 miles from RedBird and often drives 10 to 15 miles to shop at a Tom Thumb north of I-30.
