New Apartment Complex Coming to Lower Moreland?

The Lower Moreland Planning Commission will meet on Thursday, Jan. 26 to discuss the possible construction of a major apartment complex in the Revitalization District part of the township.

A sketch plan from the Greenhill Group for redevelopment of the following properties (across from Ridgway Park) will be reviewed:

3051 Philmont Ave. (Feretti Motors)

3001 Philmont Ave.

145 Tomlinson Rd.

Greenhill Group is proposing to build 284 apartment units on 9.5 acres of property. By requirement, the township is responsible in mailing out a letter only to residents who live within a very small radius whenever there is a zoning change. Since this project doesn't fall under that category, many people reading this may not be aware of the news.

The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be held in the township municipal building. The letter says “any interested resident is invited to attend."

The property includes a pool and club house as amenities.

Here is the full agenda for Thursday's meeting from lowermoreland.org:
