New life could soon be breathed into a former Rite Aid in Hellertown, according to the Hellertown Planning Commission\u2019s Nov. 12 meeting agenda.<\/p>\n

According to the agenda, planners will discuss a proposal by St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network to convert the building at 110 Main Street into medical offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis work will not include additional impervious coverage or changes to the existing access drives,\u201d the agenda said. \u201cThe existing drive-thru will be demolished, new parking spaces will be striped and the main doors of the building will be adjusted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hellertown Rite Aid closed over the summer<\/a>, a few months before the last of the company\u2019s stores was shuttered.<\/p>\n

The news that the Rite Aid could be redeveloped by one of the region\u2019s largest health care networks comes as another regional provider is constructing a microhospital and medical office building on Main Street at the north end of Hellertown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Planning Commission meeting will be held Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at Borough Hall. Meetings are open to the public and are also livestreamed on Zoom.<\/p>\n
