From the article:
I know that area is a bit chopped up, but after reading the article and looking at the maps, all indicators point to it being in MJB.


If it plays out like that, it would be great for DSD.

If this gets built, then we will get a new traffic light at the Giant & Lefever rd., plus I'm betting one on Lefever Rd. and 772. And also one (maybe 2) on Lefever Rd. and the new developments they built back there.

Argh.

It is. The Borough Line runs basically the entire edge of the property.

8 acres! Charter Homes could put 160 houses on the property and add 300 new kids to the Donegal School District. Wouldn't that make more sense? It would keep people employed and bring some reasonably priced $350,000 homes to the area. Taxes would probably be a modest $6000.

And they would make some money in the process...

At least the commercial aspect won't burden the schools with hundreds of new kids and might possibly help the tax base. The worst that could happen is that existing local stores will need to close and create some nice empty strip malls for MJB.

Develop it if you want, but becareful of what you get.
Greed and overdevelopment has never made for a nice community.

Have you been back there lately? Tons of fugly homes already being built. I don't know which municipality they are in, but they are off of Lefever closer to 772.
