Warehouse complex in Swatara Township gets the go-ahead from judge
Updated Mar 04, 2021;
One year after the Swatara Township Board of Commissioners unanimously rejected giving Mushroom Hill, LLC, a conditional use permit to construct a warehouse complex off Route 322, a Dauphin County judge sided with the applicant and appealed the commissioners’ vote.
Commissioners are holding a special virtual meeting Thursday to review the decision of President Judge John F. Cherry.
“We were stunned,” said Eric Epstein, a member of the Swarata Action Team.
The team organized after learning of the proposed 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse complex.
“We believe the decision should be appealed by the commissioners, and at minimum, include the conditions that residents want to be attached to the application,” he said.
