KAREN VIBERT-KENNEDY/Sun-Gazette The Pajama Factory in Williamsport on Thursday.
Over the years, the Pajama Factory has become a destination for artist lofts, exhibits, shows, a retail coffee shop and more recently residential apartments.
But as the owner Mark Winkelman tries to lease space in the building at 1307 Park Ave., he said negotiations with the city have stalled.
Winkelman said he completed 18 new studio units on the fourth floor all of which are pre-leased and ready for occupancy since Dec. 1, 2020.
“Negotiations have stalled as the city halted all construction until the parking lot is paved as per zoning ordinance,” he said. “We had hoped to work out an accommodation with the city.”
