When: Manheim Township school board virtual meeting, March 11.
What happened: Lisa Douglas, Manheim Township director of planning and zoning, and Marc Munafo, president of Baltimore-based CAM Construction, explained the approval process for placing the former Stehli Silk Mill, a deteriorated property at 701 Martha Ave, in a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance program. The board made no decision during its workshop meeting.
Background: The Manheim Township Commissioners approved LERTA for revitalizing the property last month, but it also needs approval from Manheim Township School District and Lancaster County. The developer plans to spend about $35 million to convert the buildings to 165 apartments, a brewpub and one or two small office spaces.
