The Concord Township Zoning Hearing Board heard complaints from residents opposed to Penns Woods Winery’s attempt to reconstruct a barn at its vineyard and tasting room. Penns Woods, in the 100 block of Beaver Valley Road, zoned R-2D residential in Concord Township, applied for a special exemption in July to replace a dilapidated, 1,400-square-foot wooden barn with a 2,500-square-foot building that would allow the business to hold indoor events, plus an added 2,000-square-foot covered deck for wine tastings. Neighbors of the property noted that noise issues have been a problem since around 2013. The board withheld a decision until its next meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. If the variance passes, a land development presentation would then go before the township council.
