Committee hears Wilder Group update, staff outlines trail connections near Wegmans
Summary
Township staff reported the Wilder Group hired a second firm to verify an initial historic-property review and said ownership transfer to a nonprofit is being considered; staff also described proposed bike-trail connections behind Wegmans to local parks and properties.
Township staff member Scott Maldonado told the Silver Spring Township Conservation and Preservation Committee on Oct. 7 that the Wilder Group, owners of a locally significant property, had engaged a second firm to verify the findings of an initial review. "The initial firm's report is not available at this time and will not be until such time as the second firm's reviews the initial firm's report," Maldonado reported to the committee.
Maldonado said the Wilder Group may be considering transferring ownership of the property to a group or nonprofit, though no specific organization or timeline was provided. He also described proposed bike trails behind Wegmans and their intended connections to Paul Walters Park, Hidden View Creek, the Joe Ricci property and Pennsy Supply, framing the trails as part of broader township connectivity planning. No formal action on the Wilder property or trail design was taken at the meeting; staff said the initial report remains pending the second firm's review.
