Newark, New Jersey: A new bank will open in Newark's East Ward.
TD Bank is beginning construction on a new branch located at 418-428 Market Street in the Ironbound neighborhood, at the southwest corner of Prospect Street. Signs advertising the bank's construction have been posted, and according to Lisa Sawicki of TD Bank, a grand opening should be held later this year.
The new location will be the third in Newark for the Canadian bank. There are locations on Springfield Avenue and Mulberry Street.
A Burger King location was previously located at the site, before closing five years ago. The building was torn down in 2013. PSE&G had been removing and replacing soil underground at the site in 2014 because the Market Street Gas Works was located there until the beginning of the 20th Century.
Update: The new TD Bank branch held a grand opening celebration on Saturday, October 1st.
