Wyeth concept plans revealed

After a lot of rumors and rumblings among residents, the concept development plans were presented for the Wyeth property Tuesday. Representatives from Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT) presented concepts to a Borough Council committee of what they want to develop at the 32-acre property.

The first concept includes retail space, office space and residential units.
The second concept includes a baseball stadium that could seat about 3,000 people, retail space, residential units and office space.

The developer stressed these are only rough concepts and resident feedback will be taken into consideration.

Residents living near the property had a slew of concerns, including traffic, liquour licenses, the impact on the surrounding neighborhoods and some other issues.
