BRACK: C’mon, Lawrenceville, don’t develop Crogan-Clayton corner

By Elliott Brack   |  The City of Lawrenceville may be on the verge of defaming a facility of which they should be most proud. This county seat government has before it what is described as a “feeler proposal” to develop a sliver of land next to the now-just-about-completed Cultural Arts Center at the intersection of Clayton and Crogan Streets.  A sign on the property indicates both businesses and condos are being considered, with the location potentially to be called “The Winn, East Crogan Street Lofts.” The property measures 70 x 300 feet.
