The developer, 1097 State Street, LP, proposes a shopping and dining center on Upland Square Drive at State Street in West Pottsgrove Township. It would include a 55,000 sq ft retail store, a 23,348 sq ft grocery, two restaurants and a car wash. That comes to about 90,356 sq ft of buildings on roughly 25 acres.
The county review covers only the West Pottsgrove part of a larger project. The rest extends into neighboring Upper Pottsgrove Township. The site is next to the existing Upland Square shopping area.
The county planning commission generally supports the plan. It raised comments about property boundaries, traffic, and rules that protect aircraft from tall or hazardous structures near airports. No news coverage, developer page or township decision specific to this project could be confirmed, so no tenants are known.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: the county flagged traffic as a concern, so turning movements at State Street and Upland Square Drive will likely be reviewed.
- Shopping and jobs: a grocery, a retail store, two restaurants and a car wash would add local shopping and some retail and restaurant jobs, though no job counts were found.
- Airport rules: the county asked that airport hazard regulations be addressed, which can limit building heights or lighting.
Where it stands
The county planning commission has reviewed the plan and generally supports it, with comments. The township must still review and decide on the plan, and the developer typically revises it to answer comments before any approval.
