Berkshire Hathaway submitted a letter expressing interest in the County Home Road parcel for a potential commercial solar installation; the minutes record the letter as received for the record but do not indicate any formal application or county action beyond acknowledging the interest.
Coleman Environmental Engineering notified the county about a road culvert project on McWilliams Road near Dales Lane in Mt. Pleasant Township. Separately, GHD provided notice that Pennsylvania American Water Company planned to apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for stormwater discharges tied to construction of a new storage tank off Water Dam Road in Briar Creek Township.
