The developer, Madison & West, LLC, plans to convert a vacant former school building on Madison Avenue in York City into 41 apartments. The site is about 0.9 acres. The county filing is a preliminary-final land development plan, which is a request for both preliminary and final approval of the site layout in one step.
City planning commission materials from early 2026 appear to list this project, including a request for zoning relief (a variance) and about 50 parking spaces. These records could not be read in full, so the exact unit mix and any votes are not confirmed here. No news coverage, developer website or organized opposition was found.
