Carvana, the online used-car retailer, has proposed a roughly 64,000-square-foot vehicle inspection center on a site of about 108 acres in Conewago Township, York County. County records list the design firm Kimley-Horn on the filing.
Township planning commission minutes from March 2026 appear to show that the plan was reviewed there. The search summary of those minutes described it as shrinking the area now used as an auto auction and adding an inspection facility. The full minutes could not be read, so votes and conditions are unconfirmed. The site seems to be the existing auto auction property, which is not a new, undeveloped parcel.
No news coverage or developer project page specific to this site was found. Carvana has added similar inspection and reconditioning centers at auction sites in other states.
What it could mean nearby
- Jobs: a Carvana job listing for a York inspection center mentions up to 70 associates, but it does not name the township, so the link to this site is unconfirmed.
- The site appears to be an existing auction property, so the change may be less dramatic than building on open farmland. The records do not describe traffic effects.
Where it stands
The township planning commission appears to have reviewed a combined preliminary and final land development plan in March 2026. After that, the township supervisors usually vote on the plan, sometimes with conditions. No supervisor action was found.
