The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The plan is for one industrial building of about 38,000 square feet on a 26.6-acre property in Red Lion Borough. County records call it a preliminary/final land development plan, which means the borough reviews the site layout, parking, and stormwater in a single step.
Borough planning commission records from November 2024 say the property was formerly Yorktowne Kitchens. An earlier recorded plan had approved two buildings of about 15,000 square feet each. The revised plan replaces them with one larger building and enlarges the parking area from just over 9,000 to about 13,400 square feet. The minutes say the borough's municipal authority approved the related utility relocation, and the improvements would stay privately owned and maintained.
No news coverage, opposition, or named tenant was found. The result of the commission's review was not confirmed.
What it could mean nearby
- Parking would grow to about 13,400 sq. ft., which suggests more vehicle activity than the earlier two-building plan. No traffic study was found.
- The borough municipal authority approved a utility relocation tied to the plan, so public sewer and water are involved.
- County records note the site spans two watersheds (Susquehanna and Muddy Creek), so stormwater management will be reviewed.
- The number of jobs the building would create is not stated in the records found.
Where it stands
The plan was before the Red Lion Borough Planning Commission in November 2024, and the county's latest filing is dated 2024-10-11. No final approval was found online. After the commission's recommendation, borough council usually votes on the plan. Construction permits follow once any conditions are met.
