Canal Walk Works to Renovate Historic House

SOMERSET, NJ-With an eye toward enhancing the famed 70-mile Delaware-Raritan Canal State Park in Central New Jersey, Canal Walk Associates, LLC–a wholly-controlled affiliate of Premier Development–is in the midst of the restoration of a 19th Century Delaware and Raritan Canal Bridge Tender’s House located approximately 0.5 miles from its Canal Walk active adult community on Schoolhouse Road here.

The renovation of the historic House–which lies on property owned by the State of New Jersey and is overseen by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission–includes considerable structural improvements and extensive exterior and interior upgrades, according to Michael Sommer, senior vice president of the Westfield, N.J.-based Premier Development, which is investing significant capital to fund the restoration project.
