You may have noticed some movement around Hershey Hall recently. The Hershey Family Renovation Project is now in full swing, with work progressing on the historic building in Mount Pleasant.
According to Gary Shahan, Building and Zoning Administrator for the City of Mount Pleasant, the project is currently in the demolition and discovery stage. “As with any remodel project, you must expose everything to understand exactly where you can begin building back from,” Shahan explained. This process allows construction crews to fully evaluate the structure before beginning the rebuilding phase.
Once complete, the renovation will transform Hershey Hall into a modern residential facility offering twenty-two family units across four floors.
The Hershey Family Renovation Project represents a significant investment in both housing and neighborhood revitalization, blending the preservation of a community landmark with the creation of new, family-friendly living spaces.
City officials say they will continue to keep the community updated as progress is made.
