EDISON, N.J. — Groundbreaking will occur Wednesday for Edison Towne Square, an approximately 98-acre mixed-use redevelopment project located in Edison. The project is situated on Route 1 at the site of the former Ford automotive plant, which closed in 2004. Plans for Edison Towne Square include retail and office space, a movie theater and other entertainment tenants, seven restaurants, a hotel with meeting space, walking and bike trails, and a 7.5-acre parcel that will be set aside for a community center for the town. The project is being developed by Secaucus, N.J.-based Hartz Mountain Industries and will be owned by an affiliate of the company. The project architect is Baltimore-based The Development Design Group. The construction timetable was not disclosed.
