I have an update for you on the space formerly occupied by Penn's Purchase.

The old outlet mall, across from Peddler's Village in Lahaska, has been vacant for the past few years and quite an eyesore for locals.

An old Victorian house will be turned into apartments

There's also an old Victorian home in the area that will be transformed into 4 apartments.

The President of Stonehaven Homes said in a statement, "We will be completely demolishing everything that's currently there and starting over brand new. We believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redevelop 14 acres located directly across the street via a push-button crosswalk from Peddler's Village."

I know locals are wondering how much these houses will cost, but the prices haven't been finalized yet.

Knowing the area, I'm sure they won't be cheap.
