A new poultry (egg-producing) farm is proposed in Lower Mifflin Township, Cumberland County. County records list one very long chicken barn, about 100 by 600 feet, and a connected egg room of about 100 by 40 feet. Together the new farm buildings total roughly 64,000 square feet.
The plan also includes a gravel driveway, gravel pads around the buildings, and stormwater controls. These are features that manage rain runoff so it doesn't wash onto neighboring land or into streams.
The county records don't say what is on the site now. They also don't say how many birds are planned or who will run the farm. No news coverage, township agendas or minutes, or developer web pages about this project were found. This explanation therefore rests only on the county filing, the latest of which is dated June 1, 2026.
What it could mean nearby
- Access: the plan includes a new gravel driveway, so farm and delivery trucks would likely use local roads. The records give no traffic figures.
- Runoff: the stormwater controls suggest the plan is meant to limit runoff to neighboring properties.
- Land use: the buildings are agricultural, so the plan adds no new homes. The records say nothing about jobs, schools or utilities.
Where it stands
The project has appeared in a county planning filing, most recently on June 1, 2026. No approval or hearing outcome was found online. Plans like this usually go through township and county review and stormwater approval before construction permits are issued.
