Doylestown Township supervisors voted 4-0 to approve a revision to the township’s limited industrial zone that will allow an affordable housing project for seniors and market-rate townhouses to move forward. Township officials were able to reach a deal with the developer and neighboring Doylestown Borough over the plan. The township and borough had been at odds over Arcadia Land Company's plan to build a low-income housing complex on the former Tilley Fire Solutions site in the township next to the borough. Borough officials feared allowing housing in the industrial area along Broad Street would attract other housing developers and the borough would have to deal with the traffic and services needed for these new township residents. As part of the deal, Doylestown Borough will get a dog park along Broad Street, next to the new housing.
