Four Million Dollar Shopping Center Planned Here
Proposal to zone 55 acres owned by Paul F. Braden for a major suburban shopping center was submitted to the City Commission. Plans call for 334 800 square feet of shopping and business space including a six story building for WPFB studios with a new Breiel Boulevard corridor and a larger sanitary sewer district. The project aims to relieve downtown congestion and would be the second major East End shopping center after Grand Central. The commission referred the Marshall Road area zoning to the Middletown Planning Commission and deferred initial zoning pending board recommendations.
