Perma-Column LLC proposes to expand its site at 65 R West Penn Street in Lenhartsville Borough, Berks County. The plan adds a new storage building of about 10,752 square feet and a building addition of about 3,600 square feet. Together that is roughly 14,350 square feet of industrial space, with related site work, on a lot of about 2 acres.
The site already has a building, and the addition would attach to it. The Berks County Planning Commission's review memo from June 2024 says no work is planned in the site's environmental hazard area. It also says the borough zoning officer found the proposal consistent with local zoning.
No news coverage, opposition or details about who will occupy the new space were found.
What it could mean nearby
- The new space is an expansion of an existing industrial site, not a new neighborhood use, so the records show no new homes.
- The records do not describe any traffic study or access changes on West Penn Street or Willow Street.
- The memo reports no development in the environmental hazard area, which suggests limited effect on sensitive land.
Where it stands
The county planning commission reviewed a revised plan dated May 2024 in its June 2024 memo. The latest status, including borough approval and recording, was not confirmed. After conditions are met, the applicant normally has 90 days to record the plan before construction permits.
