Central Valley Farms, LLC has asked for approvals in West Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County, to build a new beef housing building. The plan also includes a manure and waste digester system and related improvements. A digester is a sealed tank system that breaks down animal waste, and it often captures gas that can be used for energy.
The county record gives the project's reported area as about 80,900 square feet. That is roughly the size of one and a half football fields. It is classified as agricultural use. The latest county filing is dated October 28, 2024.
No news coverage, township meeting records, hearing notices or state permit records specific to this project were found online. What is on the site today, who will run the new building, and whether anyone has opposed or approved the plan are all unknown from available sources.
What it could mean nearby
