Montclair’s Wellmont Arts Plaza Awarded “Great Place” Designation
The NJ Chapter of the American Planning Association recently named the Wellmont Arts Plaza as a Great Place in New Jersey. In 2016, Phillips Preiss prepared the Seymour Street Redevelopment Plan on behalf of the Township of Montclair, which provided the original vision for the plaza as a public gathering space adjacent to the Wellmont Theater. The plan won an Achievement in Planning Award from the NJ Planning Officials in 2017. The Wellmont Arts Plaza opened in 2021 and the award-winning redevelopment plan has been fully implemented.
