Officials are doing a price check on whether the stalled Kroger Marketplace project at Tylersville and Cox roads in West Chester Twp. can be rejuvenated in the new world created by the coronavirus pandemic.
Ryan Ertel, who is now a consultant for Regency Centers â Krogerâs landlord at the existing location â told the Journal-News talks with the giant grocery chain are ramping up after the deal fell apart last summer.
That increases his annual salary from $143,221 to $147,761.
“I appreciate and respect Larry Burks for the work that he’s done here, for the culture he’s developed here in West Chester,” said Trustee Mark Welch.
“You’re a community development guy at heart … out there all the time looking at ways (you) can bring more business in to West Chester for the Number 1 reason of creating jobs.”
Burks increase is in line with trustees’ recent decision to limit non-union, employee merit increases to no more than four percent.
Burks increase was scheduled to go into effect April 18; other non-union employees receiving merit raises will take effect July 1.
