A proposal to open a bowling alley in the former Rite-Aid building in Ukiah will be considered by the city's Zoning Administrator on June 3. - The project, submitted by Ukiah Bowl LLC, would convert the vacant 680 South State Street property into a 12-lane bowling alley with a bar, soft play area, and dining.
- Supporters say it will create about 10 full-time jobs and additional part-time positions, boost local tax revenue, and reduce the need for residents to travel outside Mendocino County for bowling. - The Greater Ukiah Business and Tourism Alliance endorsed the project, calling it a thoughtful reinvestment in the downtown corridor.
The proposal represents a meaningful reuse of a long-vacant commercial property at a prominent gateway location.
