New apartment complex proposed in Easton

As appeared on WFMZ-TV on March 28, 2019. 

EASTON, Pa. – Part of downtown Easton might get a major facelift and more residents.

A Bethlehem developer is looking to turn a vacant property on North Third Street into a five-story apartment complex.

The site used to be home to the Boyd Theater.

Plans for a new 84,000-square-foot building were presented to city council Wednesday night.

The complex would include 70 one-and two-bedroom units, as well as retail space on the ground floor.

City leaders originally thought of putting a parking deck in that spot, but that’s now being considered for Fourth and Church streets.
