The new owners of The Chronicle Building are nearing the completion of their remodeling efforts and are hopeful for a June opening if everything goes according to plan. Bets Stelzer, one of the owners and the CEO of FarmStand, an organic and non-GMO food store and deli based in Hood River is set to occupy a portion of the building.

The Steltzer family recently purchased the former Chronicle building at 315 Federal Street with the intent of renovating the building for a natural food grocery and deli as well as creating space for six other like-minded businesses. The project will transform the building which has been shuttered since the summer of 2018. They hope to be open in late spring or early summer of 2023.
