Rockland County’s commercial epicenter is undergoing massive redevelopment. Jerry Tuchband, a longtime resident and president of the Greater Nanuet Chamber of Commerce said: “We don’t want it to become a Route 17 the situation, but I think that what’s going on is just normal improvement to businesses that have been there for many, many years and need sort of a renaissance, but I don’t think it’ll become out of control.”
Under this plan several stores and the following businesses will be renovated:
Gateway Commons: Construction work should begin this spring on a five-story, 123-room Holiday Inn Express and a QuickChek.
The convenience store and a new drive-thru Dunkin’ Donuts will open by year’s end and the hotel following in 2023.
Vista Dinettes, Momoyama Sushi House, Tiny Trims Children’s Hair Salon,Huntington Learning Center, and the former Coupe Dance Studio and Chick-fila-A’s building would be demolished.
Rockland Plaza: Under plans filed by Brixmor Property Group, the Barnes and Noble/Petco building would be expanded. Modell’s in the adjacent building would be demolished.
