Public Hearing and Rezoning Ordinance on the Agenda for North East Township Supervisors

Monday morning at 9AM, November 16th, the North East Township supervisors will hold a public hearing to listen to any residents who wish to comment on the ordinance to approve rezoning of the Bemiss and Warr properties from R-2 to B-1. Plans are for the properties to be sold to Roberts Trucking for an expansion which will include two warehouses along South Washington Street.

There has been considerable discussion at previous meetings, and supervisors have indicated that, unless new information is presented during the hearing that brings to light problems they are not already aware of, they will approve the rezoning.
