A significant discussion unfolded at the Huntington Township Variance Hearing on November 13, 2024, as LCBM, a designer and manufacturer of grain handling products, sought approval for a property relocation. The company, which has been operating in Dillsburg for a decade, is looking to move due to growth and has identified a new site that they believe is a perfect fit.

During the hearing, representatives from LCBM emphasized their long-standing presence in the area and their connection to TAM Systems, a well-established mill rate contractor. They highlighted that their current location has become insufficient for their expanding operations, prompting the need for a new facility.

A key point of discussion was the request for variances related to property setbacks. LCBM's representatives noted that they have a contract in place for the new property, contingent upon resolving these zoning issues. They expressed urgency in addressing the setback requirements to facilitate their planned move, which is set to finalize next Thursday.

The outcome of this hearing could significantly impact LCBM's operations and future growth in the region, as they aim to enhance their capabilities in grain handling. The zoning hearing board's decision will be crucial in determining whether the company can proceed with its expansion plans.
