Plans are afoot for the former Weller Health Education Center building, at 325 Northampton Street in Downtown Easton, which has been vacant since the teaching facility transitioned doing to in-school education programs in 2008.

In a media release Friday, Mayor Sal Panto announced the specifics of the plans will be unveiled on Tuesday, July 2 at 3 p.m. inside the building. Both members of the press and the public are invited to attend the official announcement.

In addition to Panto, Melissa Lee, president of the Weller Center, and Jared Mast, project manager for the Greater Easton Development Partnership (GEDP), are expected be on hand to speak about the new project.

None were immediately available for comment about the specifics.

In 2009, it was announced the space would be converting into a new restaurant by the Downingtown-based Victory Brewing Company, but the plan never came to fruition.

The building, located just off Centre Square, across from the newly-redeveloped Pomeroy building, offers approximately 20,300 square feet of space and is listed for sale at $1.2 million or for lease at $128,000 per year.
