Green Tree Group Contracting LLC has filed a plan to turn a vacant two-story former knitting mill at 241 Jefferson Street in East Greenville into 16 apartments. The site covers about half an acre (0.51 acres).
A small two-story house and a shed at the back of the property would be torn down. In their place the plan shows a surface parking lot. Cars would enter from Jefferson Street and leave onto School Alley.
No news coverage, meeting minutes, hearing notices or developer project page specific to this site were found online. Nothing is publicly known yet about opposition, approvals, or who the apartments are meant for. The county filing is dated October 3, 2025.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: cars would enter on Jefferson Street and exit on School Alley, which could add vehicle movements on both streets.
- Housing: the plan would add 16 apartments in a building that is vacant now.
- Land use: a surface parking lot would replace a small house and a shed at the rear of the property.
Where it stands
The project appears to be at the plan-review stage, based on a county filing from October 2025. No approval or decision was found online. Next steps usually include borough review of the plan, possible zoning relief, and then a vote by borough council.
