Studer whose Studer Properties LLC is developing the site said his original intent was to simply preserve the building last known as Gussie’s Record Shop. But once he teamed up with Johnson he saw the building’s renovation as more of an incubator that could help lead the way for an economic revival of Belmont-DeVilliers. He has purchased eight other nearby parcels in the Belmont-DeVilliers area and plans to develop them when the opportunity arises.
