Trade Center 83 - Phase II is a proposed industrial park expansion in East Manchester Township, York County. County records describe a plan for about 1.7 million square feet of non-residential building space on roughly 150 acres. That size would suit large warehouse or distribution buildings. The records do not name the buildings' users.
The site is near Interstate 83. An earlier Trade Center 83 was planned in the township in 2014 as a warehouse of about 1.2 million square feet, and the Phase II name suggests a follow-on. No page found says who owns or is building Phase II, or what is on the land now.
The township Planning Commission's September 2025 minutes list a preliminary subdivision and land development plan for this project. The text of that document could not be read, so the outcome of the review is unknown. No news coverage, opposition or tenant announcements were found.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and truck access: a warehouse project of this size usually brings more trucks and cars near I-83 and local roads. The records found do not include a traffic study.
- Jobs: industrial space like this typically employs workers. No job counts were found for this project.
- Land use: about 150 acres would be developed, which changes open or undeveloped land if it is not already built on.
