The Planning Commission, Where It All Begins

Planning Commission meetings continue to be source of news and surprises. The 9/8/05 one was no exception. Sal Panto formally withdrew the Strausser Enterprises’ proposal for the Village at Riverview Estates. He said that they will come back with a traditional housing development or "maybe even a new concept" sometime in the future. Both Joe Nixon (Morning Call) and Sarah Mausolf (Express Times) wrote all about it on 9/9/05. If you want to know more about the original project see Bos Meeting 3/17/2005, Rally In The Alley and BoS Meeting 6/2/2005.

Other projects were advanced at this PC meeting and some new projects were introduced. Please check out the NEWS page on the F.A.C. website for information about these and other projects in the Township. You’ll be amazed. Attend the meetings. They really are interesting. They are not all big, crowded special meetings like the one for Kings Mill, but they are where things get off the ground and they are very important. The PC meets on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7:30 PM. They have workshop sessions on the 4th Tuesday at 7:00 PM.

By the way, we do not for one minute, think that Kings Mill is kaput. We don’t know when it will be on the Board of Supervisors’ agenda and likely will not know more than one day in advance (lest the room be jammed again). Try to plan your 1st and 3rd Thursday nights around the BoS schedule. Check the Township website on Thursdays to see the agenda online or call the Township office. The agenda deadline is Tuesday at 2:30 PM before the meetings however, the website often does NOT have the agenda posted until sometime on Thursday mornings.
