About this project
A developer plans to split the 1.29-acre lot at 2241 Old Welsh Road in Abington, near Fairview Avenue, into seven lots. Six new single-family homes would be built, each with an underground stormwater basin, and the existing brick house would stay on the seventh lot. The site would connect to public water and sewer, and the county generally supports the plan with comments.
