Philadelphia-based MM Partners was awarded the contract. They’ve indicated that they’re hoping to land work to improve other parts of Norristown as well.
“Main and Dekalb along with the adjacent expansion and redevelopment of the Montgomery County Courthouse will serve as the anchors of the continued redevelopment of Norristown,” the group said in a statement. “MMP has plans to develop a number of projects in the core of Norristown drawing on our experiences redeveloping the Brewerytown (Philadelphia) neighborhood from 2001 to today.”

The intersection has been targeted for improvements for years and the project has received support and funding from both the local and state government, with Gov. Wolf providing a $1 million investment back in 2020.
Once complete, it will be the latest in a series of new developments in Norristown’s revitalization project, including Five Saints Distilling, the eSports facility, the new Justice Center, and more.
Construction is expected to commence within the next 12 to 18 months.
