Developers will price retail units beginning in February.
Driving on either side of the Towaco train station, it's hard to miss the large building starting to take shape next door. That building is the Towaco Crossing development that broke ground last spring. Included in the project is 1,200 feet of space for six retail businesses and six residential units and the development's centerpiece, an 18,000-foot restaurant called Rails Steakhouse. April's groundbreaking was an important day for many elected officials as the development is planned to become a "destination" in Montville. The project, even currently in its construction phase and continuing after the establishments are open, is expected to bring dozens of jobs to the local area. Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce said projects like Towaco …

Progress continues on retail and restaurant development.
As the summer heat beats on, construction workers are continuing work on the Towaco Crossing development at the Towaco Train Station. As of this week, the structure of a wall for at least part of the development could be seen coming from the ground. Ground was broken on the project, which includes an 18,000-foot restaurant, 1,200 feet of retail space and six residential units, in April. The restaurant included in the development is Rails, an upscale steakhouse inspired by an 1888 Colorado inn which will feature artwork and design elements that model western American grand railroad hotels. Log purchased in Oregon will be used to support the building structure. Several local, county and state officials are excited about the project and are …

Architect Anthony Garrett is hoping to bring old school railroad essence to Montville.
A new steakhouse is rolling into Towaco and Montville residents will soon be all aboard for a new shopping and dining experience at the Towaco train station. Known as Rails, the upscale eatery is scheduled to open for business in 2013 and is bringing with it a 44,000-square foot mixed-use facility called Towaco Crossing. In addition to the restaurant, the long and narrow building is designed to house up to six retail stores and six residential units. Inspired by the 1888 inn at Glenwood Hot Springs in Colorado, the stone and timber structure will incorporate details reminiscent of grand railroad hotels throughout the American west. “There will be a 30-foot, 30-inch in diameter log penetrating both floors of the restaurant,” the project’s …

Economic Development Committee hoping to collect resident input.
The ground has been broken at Towaco Crossing and several developments are already underway, including the 18,000-foot Rails Steakhouse restaurant. Developers are hoping to attract six retail businesses (in addition to six residential units) at the project site at the Towaco train station. But the township's Economic Development Committee (EDC) is interested in hearing what residents feel should be developed there. Montville Township Committeeman Jim Sandham, liaison to the EDC, told the committee at the May 22 meeting that the EDC had met with a few developers who inquired about the interests of the residents. "We entertained and heard from three different developers who are working within the Towaco center area and they're very …
