The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The plan is to add a building of about 92,344 square feet to the Sheridan Press printing site in Penn Township, York County. The site covers about 22.7 acres. County records list the project as industrial.
The site already has a working commercial printing plant, which is on Fame Avenue near Hanover. Township planning minutes show the plan was reviewed as a final land development. They mention a new building and a stormwater basin around it. The minutes also say the applicant got comments back from the county and the township. The outcome of that review could not be confirmed. No news coverage, opposition or named future occupier was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Stormwater: the plan includes a basin to manage rain runoff from the new building.
- Jobs and traffic: a larger printing plant could change truck and employee trips, but no traffic study was found.
- Land use: the work is on a site already used for industry, not on open farmland.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing, dated 2024-10-11, is for final land development approval, which is the last major review step. After approval, the developer usually has to meet any conditions, then get building permits and start construction. Whether the township approved the plan could not be confirmed.
