Route 1 Redevelopment Testimony Resumes Tonight

Testimony concerning the proposed redevelopment of the Mrs. G TV and Appliances property and adjacent vacant lots that form the southeastern corner of the intersection of Route 1 (Brunswick Pike) and Bakers Basin Road will resume tonight, Wednesday, Aug. 15, when the Lawrence Township Zoning Board of Adjustment meets.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the lower level conference room of the municipal building at 2207 Lawrence Rd. (Route 206) but the board will immediately go into executive session to discuss a matter of litigation, according to the meeting agenda.

The public portion of the meeting will commence at 8 p.m. and will feature continuing testimony about the proposal to demolish the existing buildings on the properties – the current Mrs. G showroom, a vacant business, an abandoned diner, and three unoccupied homes – and constructed in their place five stand-alone buildings that would house a new Mrs. G. store, a McDonald’s restaurant, a Wawa convenience store with fuel pumps and a TD Bank branch.

A tenant has yet to be secured for the fifth – and largest – of the proposed new structures.
