Tear Down Old Jack Jones Buick?

Developers have plans to demolish the old Jack Jones Buick building and replace it with offices

Developers have submitted plans to city officials to tear down the familiar 1921 Jack Jones Buick building and put up a three-story medical office building in its place.

The city supports the project because the aging structure will be difficult to preserve and because developers Lou Pektor and Ed Novak are known for their quality endeavors, according to a Lehigh Valley Live report.
