Work on the renovation of Jefferson Plaza (soon to be Allen Plaza) began this week as construction workers
raised an Allen Commercial Group flag over the plaza. It replaces a worn-out state flag. Scotty's Brewhouse likely will move
into the first floor of the building. And Allen Group eventually is expected to move its headquarters into the building. The
$12-million renovation project also calls for 30 new condos and office space. That whole block is changing dramatically. There
also are projects at the
Broadbent Building and the former
Junior
Achievement Building. As for Allen Plaza, there's no word yet on whether the Thomas Jefferson profile sign facing Delaware
Street will be replaced with the likeness of J. Greg Allen.

I think it has more to do with making quick money. Selling a building full of condos in a matter of months and raking in your profit is a heck of a lot quicker than renting a building full of apartments for years before recouping even your initial investment.
I think it's related to the DJ on WKLU that's going to attempt to break the world record for consecutive hours on the air.
Wow, you're calling Allen out for putting up a flag with their company logo at one of their construction sites? Doesn't every company do that while the project is ongoing?
