Resident urges action on empty storefronts and asks about school closing and rumored developments
Summary
At the Nov. 12 meeting, resident Walter Meck III raised concerns about vacant buildings in Mount Holly Springs, asked about rumors of a future highway and a denied ski-resort proposal, and discussed the elementary school's potential closure; borough officials said they had no knowledge of the highway or resort.
Walter Meck III, a Mount Holly Springs resident, used the public-comment period on Nov. 12 to press council about the borough's many empty businesses and to request contact information for property owners so he could discuss future use of vacant buildings. Meck said he would like to see a more thriving commercial district that could increase local revenue.
Meck also asked whether council had heard about a rumored future highway or a proposed ski resort; Borough Manager Thomas Day and Councilman Andrew Tate said they knew nothing about either. Day added that, "awhile back the owner of the Deer Lodge had visions of a conference center up the mountain behind the Deer Lodge," but that was the only development-related proposal he recalled. The minutes show Meck also raised questions about the Carlisle School District and the elementary school closing; Manager Day said he had approached the school board about possibly transferring the building to the borough for use as a community center, but no decision had been made.
