When a community group asked Montbello residents seven years ago what they wanted to see in their neighborhood, a replacement for the grocery store that closed after the Albertsons-Safeway merger in 2015 was a priority. The campaign to open a full-service grocery in the northeast Denver neighborhood that’s now considered a food desert has now grown into a $97 million project that also includes affordable housing, an arts education and cultural center, a small business accelerator and mental health services office. People have started moving into a 97-unit apartment building built on an abandoned Regional Transportation District Park-n-Ride lot.
