More good news...

Five story mixed-use building planned near Erie's Griswold Park.

The empty lots across Peach Street from Griswold Park (where Warren Radio Co. used to be) have been purchased by Erie businessman Pete Zaphiris, who has recently redeveloped a number of properties in the immediate vicinity.

Some good shots of construction of the "connector" mixed-use building in the middle of the N Park Row-W5th St block (where the Greyhound Station used to be located) in Lower Downtown.

Ground breaking today with Gov Shapiro and the usual group of pols for the conversion of the Renaissance (former Baldwin Bldg ) into the Trust Hotel. Adding 195 rooms to the downtown market at 10th & State sts. It should be a complete redo of the tired 100 yr old bldg which in spite of its age still has good bones.

Can't wait for this development... really has the capacity to give central downtown the revitalization shot in the arm it badly needs. The building has sat in a completely underutilized and sad state for too long while Tom Kennedy owned it. He barely did anything with the building aside from collecting rent. This new owner seems to have somewhat deep pockets and is well connected to actual money men, so that this job can be done right.

Somewhat recent (late April) shot of the progress on the redesign of the central portion of the bayfront parkway, showing construction of the State St. bridge that will allow thru traffic to bypass the intersection underneath and serve to be a MUCH improved and pedestrian/bike-friendly connection between lower downtown and the central bayfront.
