Historic downtown Cape Girardeau building getting facelift

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO – A local developer hopes this milder weather will help speed up the process of rehabbing one of the oldest buildings in downtown Cape Girardeau.

Kenny Pinksten says they're actually constructing a brand new building here at the corner of Sprigg and Broadway and using the historic structure as its outer shell.

Pinksten's planning two retail spaces on the first floor, along with two apartments and a third retail space on the second floor.

Work is expected to be finished by late spring or early summer.
