County records show a plan to combine six existing lots (Lots 9 through 14) in Carlisle Borough and re-divide them to build 25 townhomes. The plan also covers stormwater management (handling rain runoff) and utility connections.
The land is part of the former IAC site, a large industrial property that closed in the late 2000s. It has since been cleaned up under Pennsylvania's brownfield program and redeveloped in stages. A state announcement from August 2026 says the wider site now has townhouses, veteran-reserved apartments, shops, a community center, a park and a hotel.
No news story, meeting record or developer page was found that is clearly about this 25-townhome plan. Its builder, price range and approval status are unknown.
