KSL withdrew their recently proposed zoning amendment. Though we don't think this is the last zoning maneuver they may attempt, this withdrawal was a win for transparency and a testament to your continued vigilance and engagement. Thank you to everyone.

The overall expansion request still is pending with the PA DEP. We continue to await their decision as well. As always we will update everyone as we learn more.

Key Excerpts:

The withdrawal of the proposed zoning amendment comes the week after landfill representatives failed to show up at a borough planning commission meeting on the zoning amendment. Because no one from KSL came to the meeting, the commission unanimously voted not to recommend a change to the ordinance to borough council.

Borough council would have ultimately had to make the final ruling on the amendment. A public hearing on the proposed amendment scheduled for May 15 before borough council has been cancelled, borough manager Vito Ruggiero said.

“KSL has spent the past 30 years touting its self-proclaimed, state-of-the-art status and its modern engineering sophistication,” Clark said. “All of the sudden, they wanted everyone to forget those assertions and pretend this high tech structure is a mere pile of dirt, not a structure. You can’t have it both ways.”
