The proposal is a townhouse community of 103 homes on about 29 acres at 4109 East Lincoln Highway in Caln Township. The township calls it the Cohen Tract Redevelopment. The land would be divided and built out as a multifamily townhouse development.
The township's development page shows the plan moving through several steps since June 2024. Those steps include a conditional use review, Planning Commission reviews and a zoning relief request. That page says the Board of Commissioners granted final land development approval on July 30, 2026. It also says conditional use approval was granted and the written decision was still being drafted. A resubmission was logged in October 2026. One planning summary mentioned a lower maximum of 97 units, so the final count may differ from the 103 in the county records. No news coverage or organized opposition was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds up to 103 households along Lincoln Highway, which could increase traffic on that corridor and at the site entrance.
- The township approved a sewer capacity reservation and extension agreement for the project, so public sewer service is planned.
- Added households could bring more students to local schools, though no school figures were found in the sources.
Where it stands
The township's page says final land development approval was granted on July 30, 2026, and a resubmission was received on October 14, 2026. Next steps usually include satisfying remaining engineering comments, recording the approved plans, getting permits and starting construction.
