At the July 11 council meeting, Administrator Kevin Laughlin said there seems to be crisis after crisis at the former Great Eastern shopping center on Woodville Road, which has been in disrepair for years. On July 5, Zoning Inspector Amy Stribny called him and told him the roofs were missing on some of the suites in the shopping center, now called Northwood Commons, Mr. Laughlin said. “She was worried about the structural soundness of the units,” he said, adding that they contacted county building inspection. “They didn’t have building permits, they didn’t have zoning permits, anything to do the the work.
