Marion County Fair June 2018 VOL. 14, No. 6 Full STEAM Ahead Cumberland Holdings Unveils 120 Commercial Street Building Restoration Plan

The 120 Commercial building in Salem will soon be remodeled into a Class A, mixed-use restaurant, retail, and creative office building. During a May 17 event, Scott Chernoff, owner of the Reed Opera House and 120 Commercial building revealed his vision to over 150 guests. At the event, Chernoff, Principal of Cumber- land Holdings; Gene Bolante of Studio 3 Ar- chitecture; and onsite property manager, Jodie Vaughn of the Pennbrook Company showed potential floorplans, alley and parking im- provements and upgrades to both properties. Anticipated completion will be early 2019. The event was of particular importance to commercial real estate professionals, down- town businesses and city officials who are en- thusiastic about the energy new tenants will bring to the community.
