The county filing describes a third poultry barn on a farm of about 50 acres. It sits on the east side of Bloody Spring Road, just north of Interstate 78 in Upper Tulpehocken Township, Berks County. The new barn would measure 63 by 500 feet, or about 31,500 square feet. That is roughly the size of several large houses laid end to end. It would stand next to two poultry barns already on the property.
The filing lists the landowner as Lynford Nolt and the engineering firm as TeamAg Inc. The county filing is dated November 3, 2025.
No news coverage, township agenda or minutes, hearing notice, or state permit was found for this project. The details here come only from the county record. Nothing found says whether anyone has objected or whether any approvals have been granted.
What it could mean nearby
- The site already has two poultry barns, so this would add to an existing farm and not start a new use.
- The records do not say how many trucks or workers the barn would add. Poultry operations usually bring feed and bird deliveries, so truck traffic on Bloody Spring Road could rise somewhat.
- The site is a working farm, so the barn would not remove a residential area. Its effect on open space is not described in the records.
Where it stands
Only a county filing dated November 3, 2025 was found. No township action or approval was found online. Plans like this usually go to the township planning commission and supervisors for review, and state or county conservation approvals may also apply.
