Longevity Chiropractic leases Post Falls space
Longevity Chiropractic is now leasing space at Kiemle and Hagood Co.'s Cornerstone Center commercial office building in Post Falls.
The 11,000-square-foot building, located at 761 N. Thornton Ave., is now fully occupied. There are seven tenants, said Chris Schreiber, commercial broker with Kiemle and Hagood.
The startup Longevity Chiropractic moved in mid-October and is occupying 1,500 square feet of floor space, Schreiber said.
Merry Maids, a home-cleaning services business, began occupying 1,000 square feet of leased space at Cornerstone Center this month.
Merry Maids, which has about 30 employees, had been operating from Spokane Valley, at 2901 N. Argonne Road. It also had an office in Coeur d'Alene earlier this year at 3909 N. Schreiber Way.
Holly McArthur, a representative of Merry Maids, said the Post Falls location is more centrally located between its customers.
She said the business provides service to customers as far west as Cheney and Medical Lake and as far north as Sandpoint.
Merry Maids is owned by Danny Barnett, she said.

He is an associate broker at Century 21 Beutler and Associates and is a member of the Coeur d'Alene Association of Realtors board of directors.
"I believe this recognition by my peers is a highlight of my 35 years of involvement in the Realtor community," Hilbish said.

Activist invited to attend Washington, D.C., forum
Silver Valley community activist Barbara Miller has been invited and will be attending a forum called by President Obama's Council on Environmental Quality at the White House in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
On hand will be U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, National Environmental Justice Director Lisa Garcia as well as other senior officials.
"I'm looking forward to bringing the concerns of affected citizens to the attention of the White House and those who will be in attendance," said Miller, who has worked on cleanup of the Bunker Hill and Coeur d'Alene River Basin superfund site for multiple years.
The Bunker Hill site extends from the Montana-Idaho border and into Washington state. Heavy metal mine waste is spread throughout a designated 1500 square mile site.
