RIPON — The final plan check for the Dollar General Market in Ripon’s Townsquare Shopping Center is under way in the city’s Public Works Department.Planner Todd Hatch said Monday that the firm has asked for a speedy review of their plans so that they can get started in transforming the long-vacant 25,000-square-foot building into a new concept where residents will be offered three choices in their shopping – grocery, home and apparel.“It can’t be quick enough for them – they want to get started now,” Hatch said. Hatch, also serving as the city building inspector, was going over the plans this week with Planning Director Ken Zuidervaart. They noted that new air conditioning units had already been delivered to the former home of Mar Val Market and were being installed by the property owner.
