The county records describe a proposal for two buildings on a 20.77-acre site in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County. One is a storage and office building of about 100,285 square feet. The other is a 13,000-square-foot truck garage. Together they total about 113,000 square feet of non-residential space. That is roughly the size of two large supermarkets.
The site is on the west side of Camp Swatara Road (S.R. 0645) and the north side of Greble Road. The county filing doesn't say what is on the land now. The records don't name a future occupant.
No news coverage, township agendas or minutes, or developer project pages about this proposal were found online. This explanation therefore rests on the county records alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic is likely to increase on Camp Swatara Road and Greble Road, because the plan includes a truck garage and a large storage building. The records give no traffic study figures.
- The project would turn about 20 acres into a commercial site. The records don't say how much open space or farmland would remain.
- The records don't state how many jobs it would create. They also don't say whether it would affect schools or utilities.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2024-05-15, which suggests the plan was under municipal and county review then. No approval or denial was found online. Plans like this usually go to the township planning commission and supervisors for land development approval, and the developer must also obtain stormwater and driveway permits.
