The plan would allow 40 homes to be built, while preserving 26 acres of open space
The Buckingham Township Board of Supervisors today announced a proposal by the developer to end the controversial “Buckingham Warehouse”. The developer presented a plan to develop the site with 40 homes instead of a warehouse and preserve 26 acres bordering Cold Spring Creamery Road. This would eliminate the estimated 90 to 150 truck trips per day on our local roads. The Supervisors view this as a positive step.
In July of last year, Buckingham Supervisors denied a proposed warehouse project submitted by J.G. Petrucci for this tract in the Cold Spring area’s industrial zone that would have brought an estimated 90 to 150 truck trips per day to our local roads. The Board of Supervisors determined that the warehouse use as presented posed concerns for safety, traffic, and quality of life and denied the plan. The denial of the developer’s plan was then appealed to the Court by both the developer and other parties, primarily residents in the Cold Spring area. The Court joined these appeals into one lawsuit.
At an August 7th conference with the Judge all parties requested time to see whether a settlement could be reached, and the parties have been exploring options. The Township Supervisors remain committed to working towards a resolution that would ensure that the property is developed in keeping with the surrounding community and with the priorities of our residents in mind.
While this concept is still in the early stages, the Township Supervisors want to share this update. As the Board of Supervisors reviews this plan, they will continue to engage residents in the process and remain dedicated to ensuring any plan aligns with community needs, protects our quality of life and preserves the character of our township.
