Rivera said Wegmans is also getting ready to hire part-time employees for the store.

The Wegmans grocery store will be located across the street from Shady Brook Farm. Wegmans operates its only store in Bucks County in Warrington off Route 611.

The development also includes nine multi-family buildings containing 200 apartment units plus a clubhouse with a pool, and seven commercial buildings totaling 52,000 square feet.

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill will be opening its first Bucks County location there as well.

Meanwhile, an existing historic farmhouse and barn on the property will be preserved and repurposed.

Plans were approved for the project by DeLuca Homes in April 2021.
