Industrial lights inside the former Miron's Furntiure warehouse signal a pickup in in converting the building to 12 apartments and commercial space on the ground floor.
After windows were installed a couple of years ago, the project on East Second Streets known as Gavett Place Properties showed little sign of action for months.
On the other side of Gavett Place, I spotted workers last week demolishing the roof parapets at the former Romond's Garage. Today they must have been on break when I came back with my camera, though the results of their labor were in evidence.
The Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority must be glad to be making money renting roll-off containers for the demolition.
The big door to the right opens to a ramp left over from the Jeep business. This project is called Art Lofts I and will have 20 apartments, a courtyard and an amphitheater across from the main train station.
The project received approvals three years ago and this is the first sign of action.

The permit is for partial demolition of the building. Click to enlarge any image or see a slide show.
This view is from an alleyway behind the buildings on North Avenue. You can glimpse the train station through the space where a building was demolished.
On the right-hand side of the alley, here is a rear view of the Romond's building, showing the progress of that demolition.
Plaintalker will try to bring you updates on these long-awaited projects as information becomes available.
