Shelbyville’s Public Square has restaurant space on offer as Washington Street repairs remain open

Mainstreet Shelbyville is marketing restaurant space at 18 Public Square in the J.G. DePrez Building, which also houses Blessing’s Opera House. The listing offers one indication of where downtown business space is being marketed.

A separate property at 63 E. Washington St. suffered a partial roof collapse in August. The Addison Times reported that a prospective buyer told the city’s Board of Public Works and Safety that his first priority would be stabilizing the building.

The city has scheduled the Mistletoe Market for Dec. 4 from 5 to 8 p.m., with the parade starting at 7 p.m. The city’s event page lists temporary closures around Public Square and East Washington Street.

What remains unverified

BusinessIndy has yet to confirm whether a lease has been signed at 18 Public Square or whether the sale and repairs at 63 E. Washington St. have moved forward. The downtown truck ordinance’s effective date and the status of a proposed second garage also remain unverified.
