A NEW BUILDING IS GOING UP IN NEW BRIGHTON. BEAVER COUNTY RADIO NEWSMAN PAT SEPTAK SPOKE WITH BOROUGH MANAGER TOM ALBANESE EARLIER THIS MORNING:

ALBANESE TELLS US THAT PLANS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR A NEW LAND DEVELOPMENT ON THIRD AVENUE NEXT TO FIRST NATIONAL BANK. A NEARLY FOUR-THOUSAND-SQUARE-FOOT COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE IS PROPOSED TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE VACANT LOT AT 1030 THIRD AVENUE. HE SAYS THE THIRD AVENUE LEVEL WILL BE OCCUPIED BY DOCTOR JASON RODRIQUEZ AS A MEDICAL OFFICE…AND THE SECOND AVENUE LEVEL WILL BE OCCUPIED BY THE SOUP KITCHEN CURRENTLY OPERATING AT CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

I ASKED ALBANESE ABOUT A TIME FRAME FOR COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT…

 

ALBANESE SAYS THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY PROJECTS THEY’RE EXCITED ABOUT IN THE NEW YEAR…

IF ALL GOES AS PLANNED, THEY’RE HOPING FOR GROUND-BREAKING TO OCCUR IN THE SPRING OF THIS YEAR..AND CONSTRUCTION TO BE COMPLETED BY FALL.
