The closure will result in <br />the loss of jobs and significantly impact food and retail access in Everett’s most diverse and <br />economically challenged communities. This Resolution expresses the City Council’s solidarity with <br />affected workers and residents, calls on Kroger to reconsider its decision, and urges reinvestment <br />in employees and the neighborhood. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt a Resolution rebuking Kroger’s closure of SW Everett Fred Meyer. <br /> <br />City Council Agenda Item Cover Sheet
