Commissioners approve 30‑lot Zion Manor subdivision and 790‑kW agri‑voltaic plan in consent agenda
Summary
Centre County approved a revised Phase 1 subdivision plan for Zion Manor (30 lots, ~18 acres) in Walker Township and a 790‑kilowatt Charles L. Fisher agri‑voltaic solar facility on about 3 acres in Boggs Township as part of the May 5 consent agenda.
Centre County commissioners approved two land‑use items on the consent agenda during their May 5 meeting: a revised Phase 1 subdivision for Zion Manor in Walker Township and a final land development plan for the Charles L. Fisher agri‑voltaic project in Boggs Township.
The Zion Manor submission revises phasing and records a final Phase 1 subdivision for 30 lots — 27 residential lots and three open‑space/stormwater management lots — across approximately 18 acres along Zion Back Road. The County planning entry identified required infrastructure including public streets, stormwater facilities, public sanitary sewer and public water supply.
The Charles L. Fisher Agri‑Volta Project proposes development on roughly 3 acres to host a 790‑kilowatt solar facility. The plan is described as an agri‑voltaic installation, pairing solar generation with agricultural uses on the same parcel. The planning entry shows the site is west of Curtin Village Road and about one‑third of a mile from its intersection with North Eagle Valley Road.
Both items were filed under Planning and Community Development and were included in the board’s consent agenda; the board voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda. The minutes do not record additional debate, conditions or permitting timelines for the two projects. Next procedural steps will follow the county permitting and inspection processes for land development and utility connections.
