(Eaton, OH)--The scope of the investment to convert Eaton’s former K-Mart building into a large new Kroger is coming into focus.  According to a resolution that has now been approved by Eaton City Council, Reid Health Properties is proposing just over $20 million in improvements to the location on North Barron Street.  The project is expected to create 50 full-time jobs and generate $1.5 million in taxable income once the project is complete.  A 50% tax exemption has been granted for the project.  The new Kroger is not expected to open until the end of next year.
