Doylestown Township supervisors considered a developer’s plan to turn the former Tilley Fire Solutions site into housing that would include 60 age-restricted, affordable apartments and 13 market-rate townhouses. The proposed development is on a 3.8-acre site at 280 N. Broad St. that includes three acres in Doylestown Township and less than an acre in Doylestown Borough. The former Tilley building is on the 0.8-acre parcel that is in Doylestown Borough, and developer Arcadia Land Co. is proposing to repurpose the building into a craft brewery, fitness center or other commercial business. All the supervisors spoke in favor of adding affordable housing in the township and said the site would be ideal because of its location within walking distance of stores and other facilities. Doylestown Borough, however, is asking the township for more time to review details of the proposed plan. The borough has concerns about a light industrial zone turning residential. In consideration of their neighbor’s request, the supervisors pushed a review and possible vote to December. Read more here.
