Upper Merion Township has agreed to pay more than $8 million for a property at 150 E. DeKalb Pike in King of Prussia. It is currently occupied by Rossi Auto Salvage and owned by the Rossi family. The land is adjacent to a future road that is planned to be extended, however the township’s long-term plans for the site are undecided. The property includes direct access to Henderson Road and an easement to access Route 202. There are plans to extend Prince Frederick Boulevard to Henderson Road, so the township will own the land around the future connection. Township Supervisor Greg Waks said “there are a lot of good reasons for this purchase,” including better traffic movement for residents and first-responders. As part of the agreement, the owners will de-industrialize the property in the next 18 months and remove the vehicles that occupy the site.
