The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records describe a final land development plan for an industrial building of about 125,350 square feet on roughly 67 acres in Penn Township, York County. The project is labeled Ridge Avenue - Building 2, which suggests it is one of several buildings planned for the site. The records don't say what the land is used for now, and they don't name a future occupant.
A "final land development" plan is usually one of the last approval stages. It shows the exact building footprint, parking, driveways, stormwater controls and utilities. Rettew Associates, an engineering firm, is the firm listed on the filing. The most recent county filing is dated May 4, 2026.
No news coverage, township agendas, minutes or developer pages were found that clearly concern this project. A commercial listing for a roughly 67-acre industrial site on Ridge Avenue in the Hanover area was found. It describes a single, much larger building, and it doesn't name a municipality. It could not be confirmed as the same project, so it is not used here.
What it could mean nearby
- An industrial building of this size usually means truck and employee traffic on Ridge Avenue and nearby roads. The records give no traffic study results.
- A large industrial building usually brings some warehouse or manufacturing jobs. The records don't say how many, or who the occupant will be.
- A site of about 67 acres will likely be partly paved or built on. How much open space remains is not stated in the records.
Where it stands
The county filing is for final land development, which usually comes near the end of the review process. After final approval, the developer normally obtains building and stormwater permits and then begins construction. Nothing found online confirms whether the township has approved the plan.
