The changes allow the development of a shopping center anchored by a grocery store.

The Developer, The Sembler Company of St. Petersburg Florida, has a history of developing shopping centers anchored by Florida-based grocer, Publix.

In his book “Maladies of Empire: How Colonialism, Slavery, and War Transformed Medicine,” Historian Jim Downs traces the study of the incidence, distribution, and possible control of disease across continents, the oceans and time.
