Mercer County Property Value Enhancer Project

By 2014 or so, y0u will not be able to recognize the 900-foot section of Route 1 in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.  From Bakers Basin Road to the Ford Lincoln dealership farther south, it is proposed to raze all of the buildings along Route 1 and bring in a Wawa gas station and convenience store, a McDonald’s restaurant and a TD Bank.  And yes, Mrs. Gs will get a face lift in new retail section just as well!

The McDonald’s and Wawa gas station-convenience store would face Route 1, along with a new freestanding retail strip center locating Mrs. G store. The TD Bank would front Bakers Basin Road.
