Planning Commission Meeting 7/1/26

The Lower Paxton Township Planning Commission held a meeting on July 1, 2026, primarily to review and approve a preliminary final subdivision plan involving the Four Seasons HOA and the New Side Road Cemetery site. The plan included a land conveyance that adjusted lot sizes but proposed no new improvements. A significant portion of the discussion focused on the historical and archaeological importance of the cemetery site, including the use of ground penetrating radar to identify suspected burial vaults, many of which are Revolutionary War veterans. The commission addressed concerns about preserving the site's integrity and discussed potential future enhancements such as signage and controlled visitor access. The subdivision plan was approved subject to general comments from the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission. No direct procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were made during this meeting.
