It was about a year and a half ago that we first told you about plans from PMC Property Group to renovate 312 Walnut St., also known as the Walnut Place building. Back then the property had been sitting vacant for years despite its prime location and handsome appearance. But the last eighteen months have been kind to this building, and the renovation is moving along.

The entrance

Lots of new windows

The most visible change to the building, which is being converted into 66 apartments, is the replacement of the vast majority of windows. While previously the building looked like it was rotting, it now looks like it could actually be an attractive place to live. We look forward to seeing this project completed, but not as much as the many businesses nearby who will surely appreciate the influx of new local customers.
