Iron Hill in Ardmore? Find Out Wednesday Night

The Lower Merion Building and Planning Committee will consider a liquor license transfer request on Wednesday night that would allow an Iron Hill Brewery to move into Ardmore Plaza.

While supporters of the project say the restaurant will bring dollars, and jobs, to the area, a group of neighbors maintain the business will only aggravate traffic, parking, and public safety issues in south Ardmore.

“I’m here to say right now our community is oversaturated, densely congested with traffic,” said Rev. James Pollard, pastor of West Spring Avenue's Zion Baptist Church and a leader of the opposition to the restaurant.

Pollard, and those who agree with him, will get their say before a vote is cast. Before the Building and Planning Committee convenes, the Board of Commissioners is holding what promises to be a contentious public comment.

The meeting begins at 6:10 p.m. on the second floor of the township's 75 E. Lancaster Ave. administration building.
