A rapid makeover of Shrewsbury’s northwestern corner continues with the approval last week of a large new daycare facility.
The borough planning board OK’d a plan by Lightbridge Academy, a franchisor of educational centers for children from infancy to kindergarten, to build a two-story, 11,600-square-foot facility with outdoor play areas on Shrewsbury Avenue.
