Former business rezoned for easier sale
SAXONBURG — She provided borough residents with cakes, cookies, breads and pastries for three decades, and on Tuesday night, the borough treated Ellen Moser to action that will make her bakery building easier to sell.
Borough council voted unanimously to rezone the former Saxonburg Bakery at 361 W. Water Street from commercial to residential status.
Ellen Moser and her late husband, Frank, bought the bakery business from Frank’s cousin in 1972 and the building, which included a gas station, in 1978.
The gas station closed in the 1980s and the popular bakery in 2002, but Moser has been unable to sell the property since.
