County records describe a land development plan for a new elementary school in East Fallowfield Township, Chester County. The building would be about 115,780 square feet, with parking, on a site of roughly 52 acres.
The records don't say what is on the land now. A site this size is often open or farmed land, but that is not confirmed here. The records also don't name the school operator or the builder. Because the township is in the Coatesville Area School District, a district project is plausible, but no source tied to this site confirmed that.
No news coverage, meeting agendas, or approval records specific to this project were found online. The latest county filing is dated March 22, 2024.
What it could mean nearby
- School drop-off and pick-up could add traffic on nearby roads at certain times of day. No traffic study was found.
- A building this large on about 52 acres would probably include sizable parking areas and athletic or open space. This is not confirmed by the records.
- A new school could affect which children attend which school, but no attendance plans for this site were found.
Where it stands
A land development plan was filed with the county, most recently on 2024-03-22. Plans like this are usually reviewed by the township planning commission and then approved or denied by the township supervisors. After approval, the project needs permits before construction can begin. No decision or approval for this project was found online.
