Toys R Us is the second major retailer to come to Brickland.  They join Apple who arrived 6 months ago.  The Mayor cites a booming population as a reason why retailers are opening storefronts in town.

Brickland Police will be receiving new vehicles next week in order to add additional coverage to the expanding city.  The vehicles were paid for by the developer of the new department store.  

The Grand Emporium began construction last week.  The department store is slated to occupy the site of Fire Station 1 in Brickland.  City officials indicated the new store will compliment the surrounding buildings in the downtown area.

Due to budget constraints, Station 1 will be closing to reduce overhead costs associated with operating the obsolete station.
