RICHBORO The Northampton Township Board of Supervisors on Dec. 16 voted unanimously to approve preliminary-final plans for the redevelopment of the Richboro Plaza on 2nd Street Pike with a Giant Food Market.
After a short discussion, the board enthusiastically granted Metro Commercial permission to demolish everything south of the Rite Aid, including the former Murrayâs Market, and replace it with a 50,340 square foot grocery store.
Businesses now located between the Rite Aid and the former Murrayâs Market, including the Carriage Stop, Philly Pretzel Factory and Happy Nails will either be closing their doors or relocating within the center or to other locations.
The snow may have gotten a late start, but by Wednesday evening was falling steadily throughout Bucks County.
As flakes fell, closures began. Montgomery County closed offices at 2 p.m. Some schools, including Quakertown Community School District in Upper Bucks, called an early dismissal.
Less snowfall is expected than initially anticipated, but a foot of snow still is expected in some parts of the county into Thursday morning.
Previous forecasts called for up to two feet of snow in Central and Upper Bucks, but late Wednesday morning, Trent Davis, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, said Doylestown and north of it is likely looking at 8 to 12 inches of snow
