HJ Towing and Recovery, Inc. plans to add a new 17,800-square-foot building at its existing facility in Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County. That is roughly the size of several large houses combined. The plan also includes a new parking lot and a stormwater system. Stormwater systems collect and slow rainwater runoff from paved and roofed areas.
About 6 acres of ground will be disturbed during construction. The company already operates on the site, so this appears to be an expansion of an existing business and not a new use of vacant land.
No news coverage, township meeting records, or company pages specific to this project were found online. Details such as how the building will be used, the exact location, and the approval status could not be confirmed beyond the county filing from November 2024.
What it could mean nearby
- Construction on about 6 acres could mean temporary noise, dust and truck traffic near the site.
- A new parking lot and building add paved surface, which is why a stormwater system is included to manage runoff.
- Because this expands an existing facility, the county records do not suggest new homes or schools would be affected.
Where it stands
The county record shows a filing dated November 4, 2024, but no approval or decision was found online. Projects like this usually go through township planning review and stormwater and erosion-control approval before construction starts.
