The county records describe a plan to divide about 187 acres in West Manheim Township, York County, into 131 lots for single-family homes. The project is called Joshua Hil Farms. The records list the land at 186.6 acres. That works out to roughly one home for every 1.4 acres of site area. The area set aside for roads and open space is not given.
The filing is a "final" subdivision. That is usually the last major plan review before lots can be recorded and homes built. The county summary does not say what is on the land now. The project name suggests farmland, but this was not confirmed.
No news coverage, township agenda or minutes, developer page, or permit record was found for this project. Nothing was found on opposition, approvals, or who will build the homes. This explanation relies on the county facts alone.
What it could mean nearby
- 131 new households could add traffic on Musselman Rd and nearby roads. No traffic study was found.
- Farmland or open land of about 187 acres may be converted to housing, if that is the current use. This was not confirmed.
- New homes could add students to local schools and demand for water and sewer service. No source gives details.
Where it stands
The latest county filing, dated 2025-11-10, is for final subdivision approval. Next steps usually include township review and a decision, then recording of the plan and permits for roads, stormwater and utilities before building starts. The current status was not confirmed online.
