How Easton’s new charter school will revamp landmark building

Lou Pektor and his team at Ashley Development Corporation have done it again! Teaming up alongside Thomas Lubben with Easton Arts Academy Charter Elementary School in the revamping of the old Express Times Building. Covering Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, the Arts Academy will bring in over 400 students looking to further their education through the arts. The property is owned by Pektor, who is currently building the city’s new, Police Station.

“We will have extra security knowing there is a police station there,” Lubben stated in a previous interview, when asked why he thought the site would be a good location for the school.

 

“We have always enjoyed our collaboration with Mayor Sal Panto and his team at the City as we collectively continue to transform the beautiful city of Easton we all know and love,” said Peter Reinke, VP of Development at Ashley Development. “We anticipate following up the Police Station and Charter School projects with a new addition to the city’s residential market.”
