On Monday night (February 1), the Lower Merion Township Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a preliminary sketch plan for a development project which would replace the Lord Taylor store at Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center, with a six story building containing 9,600 sq. ft of retail space, 230 dwelling units, and 257 parking spaces in structured parking.

The Township Building and Planning Committee is expected to review the sketch plan on Wednesday night (February 10). The meeting will be televised live on Comcast Cable Channel 7 and Verizon FiOS Channel 37 as well as online at https://lmtv.viebit.com/.
