Overview: Highland Park’s redevelopment efforts have taken a significant leap forward with the announcement of a financial agreement to reintroduce the Superfresh grocery store to the community. During the latest meeting of the Highland Park Redevelopment Entity, the focus centered on the crucial agreement that would enable a new operator to take over the supermarket, providing a much-needed service to the area. The terms of the agreement include a 30-year payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) starting at $50,000 annually, increasing by 2% each year.
Overview: In an effort to address housing and land use within the community, the Highland Park Redevelopment Agency has set its sights on the potential adaptive reuse of a long-vacant property on South Second Avenue. The agency’s recent meeting revealed plans to consider a small-scale redevelopment that could transform the parcel into residential units, potentially offering affordable housing options to the neighborhood.
