Large development planned for Middlesex Twp

MIDDLESEX TWP — A large commercial and residential development is planned at the intersection of Routes 8 and 228.

Developer Chris Kaclik will bring plans for Middlesex Crossings before the township supervisors at a conditional use hearing at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the municipal building.

Kaclik said the 93-acre preliminary plan at the southeast corner of the intersection includes a large building for a retail, grocery store or a big box store, mid-size retail buildings, specialty retail, medical offices and a convenience store and gas station in the commercial section of the plan on 3,500 feet of frontage on Route 8.

The residential plan includes about 140 single- family and town homes.

Four entrances are included. The commercial section would have accesses at the intersection at routes 8 and 228, as well as at a new traffic signal intersection on Route 8 just south of that intersection.

The site is attractive to Kaclik because it would draw shoppers from both Route 228 and Route 8.

“It’s kind of a forgotten little corridor,” Kaclik said.

He does not yet have an estimated cost of the plan.

“We’re still in the very early stages,” Kaclik said.
