The Altoona Planning Commission heard a proposal Tuesday that would construct a five-story mixed-use building in the parking lot across seventh avenue from the Graystone Grande Palazzo. The building was proposed by Jeff Long who plans for the top four floors of the building to serve as apartments, holding around twenty four. He is requesting eight waivers and feedback from the commission before filing a formal plan to move forward. Long says that the apartments may serve as senior housing but that they are unsure yet at this stage of the planning process.
