North Penn delays sale of ‘movie lots’ for a second time

Published Friday, January 17, 2025

North Penn School District has announced that the sale of the so-called “movie lots” parcel has been delayed a second time for the developer to combine development plans. The first delay was to investigate environmental concerns. The parcels have been called “movie lots” because the strips measuring roughly 100 feet by 20 feet had been given away by movie theaters in the 1920s as prizes to people attending movies. The land was acquired by the district over the years after nonpayment of property taxes by owners. The district is attempting to sell the full, 56-acre parcel of lots to developer Pulte Homes. The latest requested extension would run until March 3.
