The property that has been vacant for some time was once used as a Verizon office building. Once the company changed locations, the lot remained empty until 75 Bannard Realty Group purchased it for potential use as a car dealership.
"All requests made by close residents of the lot and by township officials have been agreed to," Sonnenblick said. "It will be a nice addition to the town."
