The start of construction of a three-building complex of
luxury apartments, offices and retail space next week means road closures for
South Side Bethlehem.
Greenway Commons is being built atop three parking lots
across from Northampton Community College along Third Street.
It's the second project to start construction in
Bethlehem's City Revitalization and Improvement Zone.
Starting early next week until mid-2016, Pierce Street
will be closed between Third and Fourth streets as construction spans both
sides of the street, according to the city.
Pierce Street will remain partially open between Fourth
and Evans streets to allow access to Evans and the parking lot just north.
Detour signs will direct drivers to utilize Fillmore Street and yield to
oncoming traffic at the Bethlehem Greenway crossing.
Greenway Commons will flank BethWorks Renovations' first
CRIZ project, Social Still distillery. The state economic development incentive
allows new businesses within the zone to use new state and local non-property
taxes toward project financing.
BethWorks had said they were seeking a restaurant to
anchor the building directly next-door to Social Still.
The developer has said they plan to first begin building
the two retail-and-apartment buildings. Construction on the retail-and-office
building will begin once work on a nearby garage the complex plans to use for
parking is underway.
