Committee hears updates on local development: tunnel funding, Costco excavation and stalled Hempt plans
Summary
Tyler Fairchild updated the Vision Committee on several local projects, including a secured funding claim for a tunnel under Route 11 (funding source not specified), imminent Costco excavation, a proposed dance studio in Waterford Square and stalled Hempt property plans.
At the January meeting, committee member Tyler Fairchild provided a roundup of local development and infrastructure items affecting New Kingstown.
Fairchild said trees honoring township volunteers will be ordered this spring for planting at Stoney Ridge Park and that Costco is scheduled to begin excavation within two weeks. He said a dance studio has been proposed for the Waterford Square subdivision. Tyler reported that HSS has not submitted plans for development of the Hempt property; multiple proposals have been discussed but no plan has advanced.
Fairchild also stated that funding is secured and engineering is underway for a tunnel under Route 11 near the high school; the meeting did not specify the funding source. Finally, he said he will contact PennDOT to locate a highway cleanup crew to replace the Vision group’s prior commitment to that work.
The committee did not adopt any construction actions or identify funding sources during the meeting; members received these updates for information and potential future follow-up.
