A 2005 Urban Land Institute (ULI) study advisory panel recommended that the market be used as the centerpiece of redevelopment in the tri-township area it christened “Mercer Crossings.” Building off that report, this new study looks at how the market could help create a new center based on Smart Growth principles; redefine the area as a place that is comfortable to walk, bicycle, or take transit to, and to shop and socialize in; further support local farmers and other food purveyors; and bring together the three towns and other stakeholders to create a shared vision for the area.
