Fontana continued by noting that if the approvals are granted, the city could see a new source of revenue in a full-service supermarket, an increase in about 100 new jobs, and a great new community partner, according to a press release.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> The new Schnucks will be converted from a former 77,000 square foot Value City building.
