Harborcreek residents question what’s next for empty plaza
“We certainly had conversations about potentially buying if they were interested. They weren’t, which was fine. We had done it in the past with the old Harborcreek Mall about 15 years ago and it worked out, but ultimately, they retained ownership, it’s their choice. We’re thrilled for them. We’re here to be their partner, and whatever they have in store that might be next, we’re certainlyexcited about it,” said Dean Pepicello, Harborcreek Township supervisor.
