The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The Dallastown Area School District plans to add a building expansion of about 17,094 square feet at Ore Valley Elementary School on Springwood Road in York Township. The school sits on roughly 15 acres, so the addition would be a modest one on a campus that already exists.
The county record calls the filing a preliminary final land development plan. That is a detailed site plan the township reviews before it allows construction. A York Township Planning Commission agenda dated August 18, 2026 lists the Ore Valley Elementary School Expansion at 2620 Springwood Road as an item to be reviewed. The search did not turn up the outcome of that review. It also found no news coverage, opposition or project page from the district or its engineer.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: any added students or staff could change drop-off and pickup patterns on Springwood Road. The records give no traffic study or figures.
- Open space: the addition would use part of an existing 15-acre school campus rather than a new site.
- Schools: the expansion suggests the district is adding room at this elementary school, but the records do not say what the space is for.
Where it stands
The York Township Planning Commission had the plan on its August 18, 2026 agenda, and the county logged a filing on July 2, 2026. After the commission's review, the township supervisors usually vote on the plan. Once approved, the district can go on to building permits.
