GULF SHORES — City officials are in the final stages of negotiating a revenue sharing deal that would bring a Publix grocery store and about 22,000 square feet of additional retail space to the Colonial Pinnacle at Craft Farms development sometime in 2010.

Designs for the 45,000-square-foot grocery store and adjacent shopping center at the northeast corner of
Ala. 59 and Baldwin County 4 were approved by the City Council in October. Construction won't begin, however, until after the city and developers have reached a financial agreement."
