UPDATE: Greenhill Group Withdraws Apartment Application

UPDATE: Feb. 7, 9:43 a.m.

According to Lower Moreland Township, the Greenhill Group has withdrawn its application from the Board of Commissioner’s work session agenda on Tues., Feb. 7.

Greenhill’s attorney advised the Township that based on the information received in the last two weeks they cannot respond adequately by tonight’s Board meeting. Any future plan submission will be sent out through an Email Information Update on the Township website.

It is the Greenhill Group's right to present another sketch plan (different than the original one proposed) at any time, and then the development process would start all over again. At this time, there is no information to say whether or not they will be back with a new plan. 

For now, it's safe to say there will not be 284 apartments built in the township.

Tonight's meeting will still be held in the Huntingdon Valley Library's Community Room at 7:30 p.m.
