Yes, huge subdivisions in certain areas certainly were put on hold.
There was one huge one that some big huge company called Wormald (from frederick MD) was going to put one in between Emmitsburg MD and Fairfield PA. It was going to contain 1500 homes. Liberty township made them shrink it to 700 homes, which is still too much for that area. It also would over congest those rural roads to rt 15. People in that area were fighting it legally and now are so thankful that thing isn't going to be started anytime in the near future. And there is another huge thing called Mason Dixon Country Club which has like a golf course, hotel and 700+ homes planned near Gettysburg in an area where there is not enough ground water or water in the nearby creeks. That was also put on hold (again locals happy for that).
AS to those monster subdivisions, I do wish they would keep those next to large cities where they belong.
BTW I have an aunt and uncle that live near Dillsburg, pa.
Quoting: Pa resident1 I can't say I heard about that subdivision, but I know there were supposed to be at least two that we were notified about in hmmm, 2007? I'm near Biglerville. Obviously, I guess all of that stuff fell through. Also, did you know about the comprehensive plans passed in Adams county which will make it harder for them to create subdivisions now? One of the provisions in it (it's Agenda 21 stuff) mentions that I believe they need to have some type of a park area (so many sq ft per size of house I think it is) allotted for recreation, among other things. Northwest Adams County Joint Comprehensive Plan I imagine that would make it harder for these developers to build in certain areas, which would, in turn, effect you :( Interesting! No it would not really hurt us, as we always built single family homes here and there, not mega farm hogging subdivisions with a thousand houses. I tell you what, I do not want to see my area end up looking like what happened to Frederick, MD. We always have built homes in Carroll Valley, and miscellaneous lots here and there in Adams, and some in Franklin and York counties. Unfortunately, this type of work has dried up since 2008. BTW I will google Northwest Adams County Joint comprehensive plan. I've never heard of it, be interesting to read more about it. Thanks for the info. Here's a link to the municipality plans, since you're in Adams you may already be covered by something similar and not know it - [ link to www.adamscounty.us] I imagine it may impact you in some way, even if you don't build giant subdivisions because there are certain specifications I THINK (been a while since I looked at it and I get too disgusted to pick through) about provisions about x houses per acre or x acres per house, I cannot remember for certain. Check the links though. Are you familiar with Agenda 21? I don't usually look at the Merchandiser, but you may want to try advertising there as well. Thanks for the link. I am sort of familiar with agenda 21. What impact does this have on subdivisions? We will have to try advertising in the merchandiser here very soon.
