The proposed development on the Norristown State Hospital grounds cleared a major hurdle after Norristown officials unanimously approved a mixed-use overlay district. The 68 acres of land is currently zoned institutional. Municipal officials stressed the need for the implementation of the mixed-use overlay for developers to “encourage and permit uses that are compatible and complementary with the historic character of the community and areas surrounding the Institutional Zoning District and will assist in Norristown’s Economic Development Revitalization strategy.” The development is slated to include restaurants, a supermarket, and flex, technology and office space, as well as 453 new homes and 288 apartments. Tony Maras, founder and principal of Pinnacle Realty Development Company, hopes to have a master plan developed by the end of the summer.
