7-11 Proposal to go Before Princeton Planning Board Feb. 5

Plans to bring a proposed 7-11 to Nassau Street will go before the Planning Board next month, the Princeton Packet reports.

The Planning Board will consider the proposal to put the 7-11 at the site of the former West Coast Video on Feb. 5, according to the report.

The post office will also move to that location, but it is unknown if the post office would open before 7-11, according to the report.

The 7-11 was first proposed in July.

Since then, Princeton Council passed an ordinance that would limit the hours of operation of businesses in residential hours. Businesses would have to close between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Generally, 7-11 is open 24 hours a day.

While some people in that part of town have opposed the idea, at least one person supports it.

On Dec. 5, resident Jim Levine wrote a Letter to the Editor to Princeton Patch saying he compares 7-11 to Davidson’s, an old convenience store that was open in the area 20 years ago.
