Officials, Town Celebrate at Groundbreaking

A bevy of elected officials and representatives from The Hampshire Companies were on hand at 345 Main St. on Wednesday for a groundbreaking ceremony for the Madison Professional Center.

The center, which will replace the 13,100-square-foot warehouse that was demolished at the site, is currently scheduled for completion in June.

Todd Anderson, a principal of the Hampshire Companies, started the festivities off by speaking about the building which the company feels would be ideal for medical office users.

Others who spoke and were part of the groundbreaking were Madison Mayor Mary-Anna Holden, Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, and Senator Tom Kean. Assemblywoman Nancy Munoz and Assemblyman Jon Bramnick were also present.

Borough Council members Jeannie Tsukamoto, Sam Cerciello, Dr. Vincent Esposito and Astri Baillie also came to the ceremony.

Holden said that the building is part of what she hopes will be a rebirth on the east side of Madison, which often gets neglected.
