City officials were excited in 2019 when Whitmore Towers was proposed to bring a variety of new eateries and businesses to the triangle shaped lot opposite Ceres High School. The Ceres Planning Commission approved the project that year but excitement waned when the project hadn’t broken ground. Hope is renewing with the proponent seeking a two-year extension of the approved conditional use permit.
