Councilman has plan to minimize the 'hodgepodge' look of Route 42
Ward 3 Councilman Jim Carbone is working on a plan to beautify Pearl Road by unifying the jumble of storefronts into blocks of consistent architecture, landscaping, and brick and stone color.

When Mayor Tom Perciak cut the ribbon on Pearl Road last week, he said the project did not just create a wider roadway. It turned a key to future prosperity. "This opens up 500 acres of industrial land for development," Perciak said. "That's why the completion of Pearl Road was so important to us." The easier access gives the city a better shot at developing the industrial park property -- land that could bring dozens of new manufacturing plants to town, along with hundreds of jobs. The land is located off Foltz Industrial Park, just south of the city's bustling manufacturing and warehouse district. Interest is already strong, the mayor said.
