Salem Meadows Townhomes is a proposed planned community of 40 townhomes in Hampden Township, Cumberland County. County records say each home would have its own accessory garage. The homes would sit along a private cul-de-sac, which is a dead-end street owned and maintained by the community instead of the township.
The latest county filing is dated September 13, 2024. The records reviewed do not describe what is on the site now. No developer website, news coverage, meeting agendas, hearing notices or permits specific to this project were found online, so there is no public word on opposition, approvals or who might buy or live in the homes.
What it could mean nearby
- A private cul-de-sac means the community, not the township, would likely maintain the internal street.
- 40 new households would add some traffic to the roads that connect the site to the wider network. No traffic study was found.
- Effects on schools, utilities and open space could not be assessed because no project documents were found.
Where it stands
The project has a county planning filing from September 2024. No township approval or hearing outcome was found online. Projects like this usually go through township planning commission and supervisor review of the subdivision and land development plan, and then permits for stormwater and construction.

How to comment officially
For this project: The Hampden Township planning commission and board of commissioners usually review such plans at public meetings. Residents can ask the township for agendas and comment there.
In Pennsylvania, Hampden Township decides on this plan, not the county. The county planning commission only reviews it and sends recommendations.
- Speak at the Hampden Township planning commission or governing body (board of supervisors or council) meeting when the plan is on the agenda. Public comment there goes on the official record.
- Or email or mail a written comment to the Hampden Township manager or zoning officer, name the plan and its address, and ask that your comment be entered into the record.
