BELLEFONTE In a town as historic as Bellefonte, there are bound to be a few old buildings that have fallen out of use over the years, and the former Sutton Engineering property, located on the banks of Spring Creek, is one of those buildings.
The property, at 238 S. Potter St., was recently purchased by a local group of partners who hope to revitalize the space.
The large complex rests on 7.87 acres and has 75,369 square feet of space, although it is not completely empty. Currently, 23,812 square feet of the space is leased. That leaves at least 51,557 square feet available on the property for those who can dream as big as the owners, who see the location as having a potential use that could benefit the area.
South Philly Review
Money flowing to improve FDR Park
The largest park in South Philly is receiving major contributions to enhance and beautify the area.
FDR Park at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue received $4.5 million in funding for the latest implementation of the FDR Park Master Plan, the Gateway Project.
“Families in South Philadelphia know and rely upon the fresh air and green space at FDR Park,” said City Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson, whose district includes FDR Park. “From family gatherings, to celebrations in the Boathouse or marathon training along the loop road, FDR has something for everyone. Thanks to the new funding announced today, FDR will be on the path to providing visitors 21st century park amenities in a majestic natural setting.”
BELLEFONTE The much-anticipated development of the Bellefonte Waterfront, with plans for a hotel, parking garage and condominium have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Developers told The Centre County Gazette they hope to get things moving forward again soon, but may have to shift gears a little.
“It is definitely still going to happen, it is just a matter of timing,” said Tom Songer III, commercial real estate representative for the project.
Before the pandemic struck, plans were to start construction in the spring or summer of 2020, with hopes to open the hotel and parking garage in the summer of 2021, and the condominium in 2022. Then, things stalled as the whole world shut down last spring.
