Vote on mountainside development delayed

The expected vote by the Lower Paxton Township supervisors this Tuesday, Sept. 2, to approve a mountainside, luxury housing development proposed by McNaughton Homes has been delayed.

McNaughton could have forced a vote, but company officials decided to put it off to allow time to update the supervisors on issues raised by Centennial Acres residents during a meeting held Wednesday at the township Municipal Center, said Joel McNaughton, spokesman for the developer.

The main concern raised at the meeting was issues related to large storm water ponds that McNaughton wants to construct on the lower slopes of Blue Mountain. For more details, jump over to an article by Patriot-News beat reporter T.W. Burger, and check out a BB op-ed.
