Winfield Phase I is a proposed apartment community in Dillsburg Borough, York County. County records describe 178 apartments on a site of about 36 acres. That is a large site for the borough, and the number of homes is substantial for a small town.
The plan was filed with the county in September 2024 as a "preliminary-final subdivision and land development." That means the developer is asking for the lot layout and the construction plans to be reviewed and approved together. Mellott Engineering, Inc. is the firm named on the filing.
Online, the only item found was a borough council agenda that lists "Winfield" under subdivision and land development items. It does not give details or an outcome. No news coverage, developer webpage, or public opposition was found. What is on the site now, who will build it, and whether the units are market-rate or income-restricted were not found.
What it could mean nearby
- 178 new apartments would add residents, which could increase traffic on nearby borough streets and the main roads leading to them.
- A project this size would need public water and sewer service. Whether the borough systems have room was not found in the sources.
- Added households could bring more students to the local school district. No enrollment estimate was found.
- The 36-acre site is large, so how much open space is kept or lost depends on the final plan, which was not found.
