County records show a proposal for a new educational building of about 19,571 square feet at 1373 Highway 77 in Upper Deerfield Township, Cumberland County. The latest county filing is dated August 7, 2025.
The records don't say who would operate or use the building. A public parcel database lists the lot as a public school property zoned for public use, next to the township school district's address on the same road. No developer page, news story, meeting agenda or approval notice could be tied to this exact project, so its purpose, design and schedule are unconfirmed.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: a school building can add drop-off and pickup traffic on Highway 77, but no traffic study was found.
- Schools: the building appears to be educational space, but whether it adds classrooms or students is not confirmed.
Where it stands
