The project is named for the Rossmoyne Business Center, an area of offices and hotels near the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Route 15. The county records do not say what is on the site now. Searches found no news coverage, township agendas or minutes, developer page or public opposition specific to this project. The details here come from the county planning record, last updated in June 2024.
What it could mean nearby
- A 98-room hotel would bring more guest and delivery traffic to nearby roads. The records reviewed give no traffic study or access details.
- A hotel typically creates some jobs in housekeeping, front desk and maintenance. No staffing figures were found.
- The project is commercial only. The records show no new homes, so no direct effect on schools is expected.
Where it stands
The county shows a filing dated June 2024 and no later decision was found online. Land development plans like this usually go to the township planning commission and then the township commissioners for approval. After approval come permits and construction.
