The Maxatawny Township Planning Commission set further conditions to an already contentious warehouse project that would increase truck traffic in the township.
At a grueling four-hour session that lasted until after midnight, commission members failed to vote on approval of a preliminary plan for the proposed Valley Logistics Park.
The move delays action on the project at least until the commission s next meeting May 20.

Duke Realty, an Indiana developer, wants to build two 1-million-square-foot warehouses on about 300 acres north of Route 222 near Long Lane and Hottenstein roads.
To do that, it needs the planning commission to approve a preliminary plan. Approval would clear the way for Duke to work toward final approval by the township supervisors.

Descendants separated by more than two centuries lack legal standing to prevent the relocation of the historic Kemp Family Graveyard to make way for a warehouse in Maxatawny Township, the developer argues in Berks County Court.
Duke Realty LP, the Indiana-based developer of Valley Logistics Center, made its claim in documents filed with the court Feb. 25 as part of the ongoing case.
Duke s action came in response to a petition by Kemp family descendants asking the court to reverse a previous order granting the developer authority to disinter 18 people buried in the 18th and 19th centuries and relocate the remains to a nearby cemetery.

READING - Best Buy is being sued by a Shoemakersville man who says he tore his bicep lifting a television purchased from Best Buy into his car, according to documents filed in the Berks County Court of Common Pleas.
Paul Mosser was at the Wyomissing Best Buy location in November of 2019 to pick a large television he had purchased online. An employee of the store allegedly came to Mosser s assistance in lifting the appliance into his vehicle, but upon doing so the plaintiff says he felt a tear in his right arm and immediate pain.
According to the suit, Mosser suffered arm pain, bicep rupture, hand and shoulder pain and other injuries as a result of his attempt to load the television into his vehicle. The complaint says that the employee told Mosser he should have asked for more help, but the plaintiff states that Best Buy policies regarding heavy lifting should have been known and enforced by the employee.
