Four-warehouse industrial site in East Nottingham

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

A land development plan for the Herr's Farm site in East Nottingham Township proposes four industrial warehouses totaling about 1.12 million square feet. The site is 123.2 acres of industrial-zoned land along Baltimore Pike (Route 1). News coverage describes it as corn fields now. Herr Foods has owned the land for decades.

The plan was later revised. 2025 reports describe three warehouses of roughly 940,000 square feet, with hundreds of parking spaces. The land is under agreement to be sold to a developer, and no tenant has been named.

Neighbors have opposed it. Their concerns include loss of rural character, truck traffic, environmental effects, safety for the local Amish community, and not knowing who would occupy the buildings. A petition against the project is online. Oxford Borough and West Nottingham Township reportedly raised truck-traffic concerns too.

What it could mean nearby

• Truck traffic on Route 1 and local roads is the most-cited concern. Neighboring Oxford Borough and West Nottingham Township have raised it.
• About 123 acres of farmland would become industrial buildings and parking, changing the rural character.
• Wetlands on or near the site were an issue in the township's review.
• Tenants and job counts have not been announced, so jobs are unconfirmed.

Where it stands

The plan is still in township review and, as of the latest coverage found (fall 2025), was not approved. An earlier version was denied in February 2025 because an updated wetlands study was needed. A revised plan went back to the planning commission in 2025. The project has been described as far from approval. Current status after fall 2025 was not found, so it should be confirmed with the township.
