In the 2016 Master Plan Re-examination, an area along Broad Street between Maple Street and Springfield Avenue was identified as an area to be considered for redevelopment because of its investment potential, potential neighborhood cohesion and connection.
This area was considered an important location to potentially provide opportunities for "affordable housing, live/work units, adaptive reuse, pedestrian amenities, public art and open space, affordable neighborhood retail, office and co-working space, and community facilities."
In 2017, the City of Summit's Planning Board conducted a preliminary investigation of the area to determine its suitability as an "area in need of redevelopment."
