New Edge change of hands sparks revival plans for 900 Main St
New owner Jerry Hammond bought the New Edge and four adjoining buildings for 49000 after the Fords failed to pay months of rent and faced fines for health and fire code violations. He outlines a redevelopment including four new bathrooms and a remodel, hoping to attract a "respectable restaurant" on the ground floor, restore the sewing center as a senior workshop, and revitalize the block with improvements and later openings.
