As of Monday, Washington Crown Center in North Franklin Township no longer exists – it is now – Franklin Crossroads Park. The soon to be mix of retail and business and industrial occupants has officially been taken over by its new owners, Cleveland based Prep Group and an L.A. investment Firm. A partner will the Prep Group, Chris Salata, tells WJPA that work is already beginning to transform the facility into much more than a retail mall. Salata says they plan on tearing down the old Bon-ton store and part of the former Hollywood theater and transforming those into a business park area. In addition, Salata says they are doing away with the interior part of the mall and instead, will have the retail stores facing outward toward Interstate 70. The total cost of the project is estimated to be about forty-million-dollars. Salata says the mall will be open through the end of the year.
