Hope Mennonite Fellowship has filed a preliminary plan with Berks County to add a 9,660-square-foot addition to an existing school building. The school is Rehrersburg Christian School. The site covers about 5.6 acres on the north side of Strausstown Road in Tulpehocken Township, roughly 3,120 feet east of Four Point Road (S.R. 0419).

For scale, 9,660 square feet is a little larger than three or four average single-family homes. The records do not say what the addition will contain, such as classrooms or a gym. They also do not say whether enrollment will grow. The site already has a school, so the project expands a use already there. It does not start a new one.

No news coverage, meeting agendas, approvals or opposition were found online for this project. This explanation rests on the county filing alone.
