SUNY Canton, Laker Development, and DEW Ventures will redevelop the blighted Midtown Plaza, located in the heart of downtown Canton, into a mixed-use property. The existing buildings will be demolished and replaced by a 3-story structure. The first floor will included a Entrepreneurship Center (17,500 sf) along with commercial space (12,500 sf.). The second and third floors will house 45 residential units (60,000 sf). Improvements would also be made to parking lots and grounds resulting in an attractive 3.76 acre space integrated with Canton’s Main Street corridor.
