We were recently informed that the Hines/Bull Canal Dover Owner LLC Preliminary Land Development
Plan for the York Industrial Development Warehouses will not be ready for review by the Board of
Supervisors Meeting on July 8th, 2024. We are therefore cancelling that first meeting of July, as is our
practice over the summer months. Based on correspondence received from the developer, they are
requesting an extension until October 28th, 2024. Therefore, we do not believe the Board of Supervisors
will have this matter on their agenda for review and potential approval until (at the soonest) early
September. Additional posts will be made regarding the status of the plan’s placement on the Board of
Supervisors agenda as information becomes available to our staff. Please continue to follow Savvy
Citizen and the Township’s social media/website for the most accurate information on this matter.
