Zion Manor Phase 1 is a final subdivision plan in Walker Township, Centre County. It would split land into 30 lots. Twenty-seven lots are for single-family homes. Three are set aside for open space and stormwater control, which means areas that hold and slow rainwater runoff.
The county filing doesn't describe what is on the site now. Township planning commission minutes from 2024 say the Zion Manor plan is off Zion Back Road and includes an emergency access. A November 2024 township supervisors' agenda also lists a Zion Manor item about sharing the cost of road widening. No news coverage, developer webpage or opposition was found. The minutes don't say who will build or occupy the homes.
What it could mean nearby
- Up to 27 new single-family households would add traffic on Zion Back Road and nearby roads.
- A road-widening cost-sharing item appeared on a 2024 township agenda, which suggests road improvements are being discussed.
- An emergency access is noted in the 2024 minutes, which may give a second way in and out for emergency vehicles.
- Three open space/stormwater lots are included, which would manage runoff from the new homes.
Where it stands
