On June 3, 2009, at the regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Adjustment, a Use Application and Site Plan was approved on the existing GI Auto site (Old Bloomfield Ave. & Route 46 West) for the future development of a Lowe's Home Improvement Store (137,933 square feet) and Garden Center (31,179 square feet). As part of this approval, the Board also approved an additional retail building (48,000 square feet) that will be limited to three tenants. In an effort to ensure smart development, the Board has imposed numerous conditions that will require the developers to obtain approvals from other local committees and boards, as well as many County, State, and Federal agencies. Preliminary estimates anticipate that if all outstanding approvals are received, the project will take two to three years to complete after all conditions have been met.
An artist's rendition of the completed site is available for your information.
