Yazoo Mills, a Hanover-area manufacturer, has proposed a new industrial building of about 107,000 square feet at 37 Industrial Drive in Penn Township. The site is about 13 acres. County records list it as a final land development plan, the last detailed plan review before construction permits.
Township planning records show the plan needed zoning relief. The December 2024 agenda lists a variance and a special exception tied to expanding a nonconforming use. A use is nonconforming when it existed before current zoning rules and no longer fits them. The plan also includes widening Gitts Run Road and Industrial Drive to 20 feet. The township planning commission recommended approval in February 2025. The records reviewed do not say what is on the site now, and they do not describe the building's exact use.
What it could mean nearby
- Road widening to 20 feet on Gitts Run Road and Industrial Drive is part of the plan, which could change truck and car access nearby.
- A building of this size on an industrial street may bring more truck traffic. No traffic study was found.
- No job counts, school effects or utility details were found in the sources.
