The redevelopment of an old key shop building on Northeast Killingsworth Street has negatively im-
pacted a second minority business which complains that the construction caused water to the Cata-
lina Mexican Restaurant to be temporarily cut off and blocked customer access to the restaurant.
Last month, the construction required a black-owned barber shop on the other side of the property to
move an electrical meter and upgrade building codes.
