PITTSTON \u2014 After years of planning, a demolition team razed Quinn\u2019s Supermarket on the corner of Kennedy Blvd. and Market St. this past week to make way for a four-story parkade complete with retail, grocery store, and residential called Theatre Flats will be an access to the planned American Theatre.<\/p>\n

The $15 million Theatre Flats is an integral part of City of Pittston\u2019s Mayor Michael Lombardo\u2019s plan to reshape the landscape of Downtown Pittston.<\/p>\n

The parkade project combined with the $32 million seven-story structure at Market & Main that includes the 650-seat state-of-the-art American Theatre will be construction projects operating simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The Market & Main and parkade projects will be a central focal point of the downtown area playing a critical role in the City of Pittston\u2019s continued growth.<\/p>\n

Beyond expanded parking, the parkade project includes plans for retail space, a grocery store, and residential to the downtown district.<\/p>\n

The new parking structure will directly support the forthcoming Market & Main Theater project, which is expected to begin construction soon after bids have been accepted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Theatre Flats project marks the beginning of the parking structure and new retail and office space, which we hope will include a new supermarket,\u201d Lombardo said. \u201cAn additional component of the development is residential units that will connect directly to the upcoming Market & Main Theater.\u201d<\/p>\n

These developments represent a major investment in Downtown Pittston\u2019s infrastructure, economic vitality, and long-term vision.<\/p>\n
