Richland Township supervisors held a conditional use hearing for a proposal to redevelop a 200-acre shopping center on West End Boulevard (Route 309) as a mixed-use development. First introduced at the end of 2022, the proposal calls for the 206,500-square-foot Richland Plaza Shopping Center, zoned in the Planned Commercial and Arterial Corridor Overlay districts, to be redeveloped to a G17 Flex Building Use. The redevelopment would change the use to 77,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 40,000 square feet of research laboratory space, and keep 60,500 square feet of retail space. The conditional use hearing for the proposed project was needed to consider “traffic and arterial corridor issues.” The next step will be a solicitor’s report at the next supervisors meeting on Monday, Nov. 13.
