another open piece of land slated for development

Last night, plans were unveiled by PresbyHomes & Services to develop the 330-acre Creybilly Farm in Westtown Township.

The development would entail 210 apartment units, 30 nursing beds, 44 assisted living apartments and 47 cottages, all in the first phase of the project, according to Sean Kelly, project manager.

The second phase of the project, which may not happen until 2015, if everything is approved by the township, would entail 16 cottages, 227 apartments and 36 assisted living units, Kelly explained.

The Westtown Board of Supervisors decided to continue the hearing to have more testimony. Anyone interested in hearing more about the plans can attend the Board of Supervisors meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 15.

In addition to Presby's plans, the Robinson family, which owns the farm, plans to create some type of business center on the land. That hearing will be on Nov. 19.

Wow - glad that they "preserved" the farm from the big, bad school district when they needed a site for the 3rd high school. Back then the cry was all about preserving open space. Now we see that greed was the factor all along. I'm sure there is a lot more profit to both the landowner and the township in this proposal than if the school district had used that land instead of the Shiloh/926 location where Rustin now stands.
