Plaza Allegheny groundbreaking

NORTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A new shopping center is going up in North Philadelphia.

The mayor and other representatives were there for the groundbreaking near third and Allegheny Avenue Tuesday.

The shopping center will house a Save-a-Lot supermarket, an auto-repair shop, medical and dental offices, and a fitness center.

City officials say it should create 140 permanent jobs, and bring an economic boost to the community.

Plaza Allegheny is expected to open this fall.
