About this project
The Salford Mennonite Church wants to build a 103-by-47-foot outdoor pavilion on its campus at 480 Groffs Mill Road in Lower Salford Township. It would include restrooms and a warming kitchen for worship gatherings and fellowship meals, with a short parking connection to the existing lot and a paver path to the cemetery. No existing structures would be removed.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: Groundwater recharge lost when well water is discharged off site, Added impervious cover from pavilion, parking, and path needs stormwater management, Encourage infiltration such as a rain garden
