Herring Properties appeared before the Bristol Township Zoning Hearing Board to introduce new plans for 3113 and 3105 Veterans Highway. The properties are vacant and were once home to the former O’Connor Freightliner location. In 2022, a New Jersey developer had looked to build a hotel, fast food restaurant, automotive repair shop and mini-warehouse at the location but officials recently reported the plans had fallen apart. The current proposal is for a new industrial development at the sites consisting of a 116,000-square-foot facility that could bring 50 to 60 new jobs per shift to the area. The project is expected to bring significant tax revenue to the township, with Herring confirming that no tax breaks were being sought for this development. The zoners approved variances for height requirements, impervious surface area, access and site buffer. The approval comes with conditions, including the completion of necessary environmental studies and coordination with the conservation district and PennDOT.
