The recession has halted more than a few big projects in or near downtown.

But on East Market Street, the early stages of the multiblock transformation of the former Wayside Christian Mission properties into the Nulu arts and retail district remains on track.

In addition to the integration of the Wayside properties, a new restaurant is scheduled to open this month in The Green Building, at 732 E. Market.

That building is the headquarters for Gill Holland, the entrepreneur and impresario leading the Wayside project. And Holland is planning to build yet another building next to The Green Building.
