I actually think it is a pretty good use of that land. I often cut through that road to get from 72 to the Fruitville pike and have thought that so much more could be done with that area. At least they are not taking farm land, or using space that backs up to residential areas. This sounds like a win-win type of investment.

What a perfect idea. Put the bad stuff with the other bad stuff. The traffic is already there, you couldn't make that site more rural because its in the middle of a highway and an office park and locally, we need many more upscale shops.
It would be better if this development, Hawthorne Square (Wal Mart), the shopping center with K-Mart and the the strip malls with Starbucks, the Bank of Lancaster County Branch and Savemart and were made to have a common entrance exit and interconnection plan (by extending driveways between the centers and using 4-way stop sign at Roseville Rd, taking the "nuts" factor off Fruitville Pike.
Kudos for proposing something that has such a low impact on our way of life. It could have been another Rockvale Square/Rte 30 strip.

Seems like a perfect location for a project like this. Much better than, say, Harrisburg Pike!

Anyone remember all the junk farm tractors that used to sit where this complex is?
