Eagle Metals, a metal rolling and processing company in Bern Township, has asked the township and county to review a plan to enlarge its industrial site. The plan adds a building addition of about 24,200 square feet and a new stormwater facility. The site is about 8 acres, north of Old Bernville Road and west of Fairview Drive. The plan would also annex (fold in) three neighboring parcels.
The site is already an industrial property. A chamber of commerce profile describes the company as a maker of thin metal coils, strips and sheets in the Leesport area. The records point to an expansion of an existing operation, not a new use on undeveloped land.
No news coverage, opposition, or approval decisions were found. The only online items found were a Bern Township planning commission agenda and a county planning report that list the plan by name.
What it could mean nearby
- The stormwater facility is meant to manage runoff from the added building and paved areas.
- Truck or employee traffic on Old Bernville Road could change, but no traffic study or figures were found.
- Annexing three parcels would merge them into the industrial site, which could change how that land is used.
Where it stands
The plan is at the preliminary land development stage, and the latest county filing is dated 2026-08-27. Next come reviews by the county and township planning bodies, then a vote by the township supervisors. A final plan with engineering details usually follows.
