Mt. Washington group supports Edge Restaurant plans

Members of the Mt. Washington Community Development Corp. voted Thursday to support plans for a major development proposed for the long-vacant Edge Restaurant site.

Developer Steven Beemsterboer's plans next will be submitted to the organization's board of directors on Sept. 4 for approval, said Frank Valenta, its president.

At Thursday's meeting, all 53 organization members voted in favor of the project, which would include a 140-room, 14- to 18-story hotel, about 60 residential condominiums, two restaurants, a fitness center and spa and a visitor's center close to the Mon Incline.
