Part of York County farm rezoned for development

East Manchester Township officials voted 2-1 in favor of rezoning 59 acres, including a section of the Musser farm, to industrial and apartment/office districts. The board of supervisors listened to testimony from an attorney representing Kinsley Properties; Carolyn Musser Hall, the executor of the estate of Paul E. and Helen L. Musser; and township residents before making the decision. Supervisor Dean Kohr voted against it. The mixed-use proposal involves three parcels of land along Board and Zions View roads. The majority of the land belongs to the Musser estate while a smaller parcel is owned by KEII Board Road Residential LLC. Under the plan, about 34 acres adjacent to an existing industrial district will be rezoned as industrial. About 25 acres will be rezoned as apartment/office.
