Retail Strip, 2 Restaurants Could Join Lacey Shopping Center

LACEY, NJ — Developers will go before the Lacey Township Planning Board later this month hoping to construct a 31,700 square-foot retail strip center building and two new quick-service restaurants at Lakeside Plaza.

Lakeside Plaza, located on South Main Street, is currently home to several businesses and restaurants, including Applebee’s, Pan Asia, M&T Bank and an AT&T store.

Part of the shopping center, which is lot 17.02 on Lacey’s tax map, consists of a building (where Retro Fitness is located), parking and vacant land.

In the back of that lot, the developers are proposing the retail strip center building along with parking, sidewalks and other associated improvements, according to public notice.

Developers also want to build two 3,000 square-foot drive through restaurants in the area that is generally a parking lot.

The hearing is set for the Oct. 16 meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the municipal building, 818 Lacey Road.
