The City Commission approved a final plat for a Starbucks coffee shop to be built on the south end of Newton. Harvey County Now has published multiple stories in recent months about the upcoming development. The City Commission meeting marked the first time the City confirmed its knowledge of the development in an official capacity. “The developer is ready to build the building and it’s going to be a Starbucks,” City Engineer Suzanne Loomis said at the Tuesday commission meeting. The approval of the plat marks the last bureaucratic hurdle for development of the chain coffee shop in Newton. It’s planned to be built in a section of Walmart’s existing parking lot directly south of the Subway restaurant located along South Kansas.
