The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

A new industrial site is proposed at 538 N. Trooper Road in East Norriton. County records say two industrial buildings would go on a 6.19-acre lot (Lot 1). The filing lists about 16,100 square feet of non-residential space. That is small for industrial buildings, roughly the size of a few large houses combined. The site would also get a driveway, parking, paved work yards, and retaining walls up to 12 feet high.

The plan also shifts the property line between Lots 1 and 2. It would extend public water and sewer lines from North Trooper Road to West Germantown Pike.

No news coverage, developer project page, or confirmed meeting record was found. The county filing doesn't say who would occupy the buildings or what is on the site now.
