Frank Stringi of the town's planning department, tells GlobeSt.com that Wilmington-based Channel Building Co. made a formal proposal to Revere's city council.

The site is owned by the Bell family and currently houses three buildings that are occupied by a Lappen's Auto Parts store and other automotive uses. Mayor Thomas G.
