Middletown Township supervisors approved a zoning change that rezones an 85-acre former landfill at 2011 West Lincoln Highway — a federally designated Superfund site that has been contaminated since at least the 1940s or 1950s — into a Logistics Center Overlay District. The new district allows light manufacturing and logistics fulfillment centers. The petition was brought by Korman Commercial Properties, which must fund its own multi-million dollar remediation of the site (including methane pipes) and secure approvals from both the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and federal authorities before any construction can begin. The rezoning prohibits data centers and cold storage, and requires a 200-foot conservation easement along Neshaminy Creek (exceeding the standard 150-foot buffer) that would open over 21 acres for public use. It also mandates detailed traffic and stormwater studies — the latter a concern raised by residents worried about runoff into the creek and nearby flood zones. The site, located across from SEPTA's West Trenton Line and freight rail, is currently the only property in the township large enough to qualify under the new zoning rules, and Korman is reportedly already in discussions with potential tenants.
