With site preparation well underway, Regency Centers Corp. now has construction permits to build the East San Marco retail center that will be anchored by Publix Super Markets Inc.
The city issued four permits Feb. 9 for J. Raymond Construction Corp. to build the retail center at total construction costs of $9.7 million.
