The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
LCBC Hanover is a church. It proposes a 12,000-square-foot addition to its existing building at 1504 Broadway in Penn Township, York County. The site is about 5 acres and already holds the church.
The plan is a "final land development plan." That is the detailed, last-stage drawing set the township reviews before it allows construction. An engineering firm, RGS Associates, prepared it. The township's planning commission agendas from August and September 2024 list it for review. No news coverage, opposition, or final approval was found, and no details on how the new space would be used.
What it could mean nearby
- Church additions can change traffic and parking at the site, but no traffic study was found for this project.
- The records show no new homes. The county lists the project as institutional, not residential.
- The addition covers part of a 5-acre property that already has a church on it, so it is not a new campus.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing is dated March 2025 per record (2024-03-25 listed), and township planning commission agendas show the plan under review in August and September 2024. No approval outcome was found. Next steps usually are a planning commission recommendation, then township supervisors' approval, then building permits.
